When using Telegram bots for crypto transactions require rigorous safety measures. They can streamline payments, they also expose you to significant risks without proper safeguards. Above all verify the authenticity of the bot. Check for the blue checkmark, or cross-reference the bot’s source via verified community channels. Never interact with a bot that you discovered through an unsolicited message, linked from a phishing site (groups.google.com).

Use a dedicated wallet exclusively for bot interactions. Never connect your main wallet. Fund this wallet with a limited, non-critical amount. It caps your exposure in case of breach. Keep low or zero balances in this wallet, refrain from linking master keys to this account.

Turn on multi-factor authentication without exception. Even when the bot offers no built-in 2FA, enable it on your Telegram account. This adds a critical barrier against account hijacking. Under no circumstances should you save your recovery phrases anywhere in your Telegram chats, in attached documents or media.

Under no circumstances disclose your wallet secrets, even if they claim to be support. Legitimate bots will never ask for this information. If you're asked to grant key permissions, triggers an unexpected signing request, stop immediately and investigate thoroughly.

Double-check every transaction parameter. You’ll frequently be asked to confirm payments. Ensure the payout address is correct, the precise quantity, the specific cryptocurrency. Fraudsters use deceptive address mimics, minor spelling errors to trick victims.

Scrutinize all access rights granted to the bot. Some bots request excessive access. Deny any non-essential permissions. Authorize only what’s vital for the transaction to complete.

Regularly install the latest Telegram and OS updates. Older versions are prone to known security flaws. Refrain from using unsecured hotspots. Use a VPN or private LTE.

Check your crypto balances frequently. Use a reliable blockchain explorer to spot anomalous transfers. Should you detect unexpected activity, disable the bot immediately, and transfer your funds to a new, secure wallet.

Continuously learn about new phishing schemes. Phishing attempts and fake bots are constantly adapting. Join reputable crypto communities. Subscribe to official crypto safety bulletins. If something feels off, don’t proceed. Do not confirm any transaction without full verification.
