Back in 2017, many ICO projects pride themselves of having one of the biggest telegram community. Some of them would market it as a proof or sign that many investors believe in their project. People who have been around all know that most members there are airdrop/bounty hunters who only joined to qualify for the reward.
I also saw one
post earlier asking for telegram group members and one of the condition the buyer posted is that it "needs to look real".
Anyway, this post is just a reminder to beginners in crypto. We don't want you to fall for these tricks to lure you into investing into their projects.
In 2017 I remember some projects which used the large telegram group thing to create hype and easily hit hard cap for their ICO. Nowadays crypto investors are wiser, we all know telegram groups can be increased by paid means to add fake members. Are there people who still invest merely because of large telegram group presently? I doubt.
