[45401] A wave of advertisements and marketing content attacks Telegram channels in Turkey

The spread of marketing content and investment promises on social networks

During April 30, 2026, active activity was identified from various Telegram channels promoting financial offers, stock market trading strategies, and monetary benefits. These are publications with a distinct marketing character, appealing to an audience of investors and those seeking quick profit opportunities.

Promises of profits in the stock market

The channel Borsa Hisse Haber published content presenting a stock named SMRVA, claiming "52.78% net profit" and that the stock is on its way to the "ceiling" (maximum increase). The same channel claimed to investors currently in losses: "Build only 2 absolute weeks. You will see that you will all move to profit." This channel operates as an entity promoting joining closed groups via external links, using scarcity tactics ("only 15 spots left").

Promotions and financial benefits

At the same time, the channel TÜRK SAVUNMA SANAYİ is publishing a financial benefit offering users "to earn up to 1,250 Turkish Liras" by making purchases with a GetirFinans debit card. This is an advertisement intended to drive users to join specific financial services.

Gambling and investment benefits

The channel Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü published a message promising "50% discount on the second investment" while calling on users to "increase the investment" and reach profits faster. The use of popular sports club symbols to promote such offers indicates the use of community platforms as aggressive advertising platforms for financial or gambling content.

Editorial notes

The content reviewed above comes from channels that define themselves as stock market news, defense, or sports channels, but in practice, most operate as platforms for sponsored advertising (Reklam). Promises of high profits in the stock market should be treated with great caution, as these are profit-driven advertisements and not professional financial advice.
