[84165] Aggressive advertisements take over financial Telegram channels

Aggressive advertising on 'Borsa Haber' channels

On June 15, 2026, Telegram channels focused on capital market analysis, Borsa Haber 🔔 and Borsa Haber Hisse🥇, posted messages promoting urgent joining of an external group. The posts used high-pressure marketing tactics, as Borsa Haber 🔔 announced: "GİREN GİRSİN SİLİYORUM SON 120 KİŞİ" (Whoever enters, enters; I am deleting, only 120 spots left).

These messages, which appear frequently on channels presenting themselves as sources of information on stocks and IPOs (Halka Arz), indicate a business model that relies on advertising (reklam) directed at followers in financial communities. According to gathered information, this is a repeating pattern across several channels operated under the same brand.

It is important to note that these sources, which are identified as information channels for the Turkish capital market, avoid providing proper disclosure regarding the nature of the content to which they are directing their followers. Such tactics, which exploit the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) to drive users to join obscure channels, raise concerns regarding the quality of content and the professional integrity of the channels promoting them.
