Accounts carrying Telegram’s official SCAM or FAKE flag, plus community reports. Flags are applied and removed by Telegram, not by scammers.tg.
The red SCAM / FAKE label is applied by Telegram’s own moderation after enough user reports — and removed only on appeal via the @notoscam bot, so it changes rarely. scammers.tg mirrors that official flag with a date, and lets the community report and discuss suspicious accounts before any official action. Two clearly separated layers: Telegram’s verdict, and users’ opinions.
Reports and comments are submitted by users and are not verified by scammers.tg. Official flags are applied and removed by Telegram. To dispute, contact Telegram’s @notoscam bot.
