Fraudsters pretend to be @Wallet support

Over the past few days, there have been more and more cases of fraudsters pretending to be @wallet support. The user receives a message in a private chat stating that they urgently need to go through the verification procedure(“KYC”) in Wallet, and if they do not do this, they will lose access to their account.

After the victim follows the link, they receive a one-time authorization code. It can come either from a Telegram service account or by email. Having given this code to the attackers, the user soon discovers that their sessions has been terminated. And when trying to log back into their account, the user receives a message stating that their phone number has been blocked, or ends up in a new account.

Remember: if the "BLOCK" button is displayed at the top of a new private chat, it means that you have been contacted by fraudsters: there will be no such button in dialogues with Telegram service accounts.
