Can you tell if this one is fake ss or fake offered he showed you? Basically they give you the link what you wants from Fragment. But wait dont jump over and fall for it. In Telegram you can sent any text and bind that text with a link, that's what they do . They send a fake link text which didn't even exist but in that text they created their phishing website link which is a copy of Fragment. It's exactly copy of fragments you can't tell it if you're not aware of the Site URL.

After blocked , a new message appeared on my telegram from Auction Alert it's same like if Telegram send you any official text . It had me fooled for a second . If I confirm the offer it's redirect me to my wallet. But what I know for sure is theres nothing goes for easy money. So I tripple checked and found that it's a fake account.
