[96172] A wave of unauthorized stock investment advertisements floods Telegram channels

Expansion of investment 'tip' advertisements on Telegram

Throughout the day (June 23, 2026), there has been an surge of activity from financial Telegram channels promoting closed investment groups through promises of identifying stocks set to skyrocket. These are targeted advertisements that use tactics of urgency and social marketing to attract retail investors.

Channel Reports:

• According to Borsa Hisse Haber, the channel offers joiners access to "stock candidates that will hit the trading ceiling" for free, emphasizing that the number of spots is limited.


• Conversely, the channel 𝐁𝐎𝐑𝐒𝐀 𝐆𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐈 reached out to its audience with a message stating that it "will add only 70 people today" to a private group where it will reveal surging stocks, emphasizing that the service is provided without conditions, at no cost, and on a "first come, first served" basis.

Risk Assessment

It is important to note that both channels operate as marketing platforms that exploit the discourse surrounding volatile stocks. These entities rely on a business model based on mass recruitment to chat groups (such as private WhatsApp or Telegram), a strategy often identified with 'Pump and Dump' attempts or lead generation for marketing purposes, and it lacks any proper disclosure or official financial supervision.
