So not sure how I ended up in this Telegram group, I believe it has been renamed from some other channel.
The name of the channel is: BinanceBitcoin Channel

It has 2516 members and it has the following pinned message:

This is the best event of the year, don't miss it! me and my brother received 29 bitcoins! thank you!

When I posted a message saying I'm not sure this is credible and indicating their website doesn't work, it seems moderator has removed my message and removed me from the channel.

Anything else that should be done about this besides reporting spam to Telegram?

Does anyone have Binance contacts to report this?

P.S. moderator name shows as Jack Watt and in his profile it says "Binance Customer Service"

definitely a scam group and waiting for someone to be their victim. Do you have the specific telegram username of the channel?

It has been mentioned above that the telegram channel is BinanceBitcoin Channel.i will check later about that group

But for now better transfer this Thread to Scam and Accusations Section,since this tackels about that matter dude

Anyway upon your presentation this is a purely scam channel on telgram that must be avoided
