[56741] A wave of investment offers and scam warnings on social networks
Financial Telegram channels are promoting investment portfolio management offers and promises of high returns, using methods that raise concerns about potential scams.
On May 12, 2026, increased activity was observed in Telegram channels dealing with stock market and crypto trading, promoting 'Account Handling' services and promises of extraordinary returns. Channels like Nifty 50 & Stocks ( SEBI REGISTERED ) offer investment management services for a 50% success fee, requiring an initial capital of 50,000 rupees, while presenting risk limitations such as a 5% daily loss limit. At the same time, channels like मुंबईकर ट्रेडर ( Lifetime Free ) promise extreme returns, such as turning an investment of 10,000 rupees into 40,000 rupees after the completion of certain transactions.
Conversely, other channels such as JaiClub 🏆🏆 CRYPTO focus on gambling and guessing platforms named 'Wingo', while encouraging users to deposit funds for 'bonuses and gifts'. These platforms broadcast messages encouraging the rapid raising of capital without organized regulatory documentation.
It is important to note that the sources reviewed tend to exert psychological pressure on users, using phrases such as 'Today nifty expiry, Dont miss profit gain opportunity' or presenting 'Loss Cover Plans', as published by MarketWolf - Stocks & Options. Sources presenting themselves as 'SEBI REGISTERED' (registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India) use this title to instill credibility, but the business models presented — especially promises of guaranteed returns in short timeframes — characterize patterns known to be suspicious for financial online scams.
