Crypto presales can offer massive upside — but they’re also where some of the worst scams hide in plain sight. With more projects launching directly through Telegram groups, it’s critical to know how to spot the red flags before you send any funds.

Here’s what every investor needs to look out for when joining Telegram-based token presales.

1. Anonymous or Fake Team Profiles
Scammers often hide behind anonymous avatars, claiming privacy concerns. Legit teams provide some verifiable track record or public presence. Cross-check team claims through LinkedIn, Twitter, or past projects.

2. No Website or a Basic, Copy-Paste One
A project worth your money should have at least a functional, professional website. Red flags include broken links, stock images, and copy-pasted whitepapers.

3. Unverified Smart Contract or No Contract Info
Many scams avoid sharing their token contract address or delay it. Always verify contracts on Etherscan, BSCScan, or Solscan.

4. Overhyped Promises and Guaranteed Returns
Anyone promising 100x returns or guaranteed profits is lying. Verify all claims independently.

5. Aggressive FOMO Tactics
Scammers use pressure to force quick buys. Legit projects provide ample time for research.

6. Bots and Fake Engagement
Look for real community interaction. High member counts with low engagement are suspect.

7. No Audit or KYC
Lack of security audits or KYC is a warning sign. Popular audit firms include Certik, Hacken, and SolidProof.

8. Admins Dodge Questions
If admins delete questions or ban users for asking about liquidity or team, exit immediately.

9. No Real Community Outside Telegram
Legit projects build communities across multiple platforms like Twitter, Discord, and Medium.

10. Suspicious Tokenomics
Watch out for lopsided token allocations, unlimited supplies, or vague burn mechanisms.

Final Thoughts:
Telegram presales are high risk, high reward — but many are set up to fail or steal. Always verify everything, start small, and trust your gut.
