$elling mobile phones via Telegram with carding techniques.
It sounds like you encountered Rishabhcarder on Telegram, who was selling mobile phones using stolen credit card information (carding). This can be a risky situation for a few reasons:
-
Receiving stolen goods is illegal: If you were to purchase a phone obtained through carding, you could be implicated in a crime.
-
The phones might be blocked: Phones purchased with stolen credit cards might be flagged and blocked by the carrier, rendering them unusable.
-
You could be scammed yourself: Rishabhcarder might be trying to trick you into paying for a phone that doesn't exist.
Here's what you should do:
-
Do not respond to Rishabhcarder or attempt to buy a phone: Further communication could put you at risk.
-
Report Rishabhcarder to Telegram: Telegram allows users to report suspicious activity. Report Rishabhcarder's account to Telegram so they can investigate and take appropriate action.
-
Report the incident to the authorities (optional): If you're concerned about your involvement or want to help prevent others from being scammed, you can report the incident to the authorities in your country.
Phone scams are a common problem on Telegram and other messaging platforms. Here are some unique tips to help you avoid them in the future:
-
Be wary of deals that seem too good to be true: If someone is offering a phone at a significantly lower price than market value, it's probably a scam.
-
Never buy a phone without seeing it first: This is especially important when buying from someone you don't know. If the seller is unwilling to meet in person or allow you to inspect the phone before buying, it's a red flag.
-
Do not provide your financial information to anyone on Telegram: Legitimate sellers won't ask for your credit card information or other financial details through Telegram.
-
Use a secure payment method: If you do choose to buy a phone from someone on Telegram, use a secure payment method like PayPal Goods and Services, which offers buyer protection.
-
Be mindful of who you interact with: Only engage with sellers who have a positive reputation on Telegram. Look for reviews from other buyers before making a purchase.
-
Report suspicious activity: If you see someone selling phones on Telegram under suspicious circumstances, report them to the platform immediately.
By following these tips, you can protect yourself from phone scams on Telegram and other messaging platforms. Remember, if something seems suspicious, it probably is. Trust your gut instinct and don't hesitate to report any activity that concerns you.
