Among the most common and damaging schemes are <strong>honeypot tokens<\/strong> \u2014 smart contracts designed so that users can buy the token but cannot sell it, leaving them trapped with worthless assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent months, Webamooz conducted extensive research into fraudulent Telegram channels that promoted such tokens. Through direct communication with <strong>Pavel Durov<\/strong>, the founder and CEO of Telegram, our documented reports resulted in Telegram officially restricting and tagging <strong>160 scam channels and groups<\/strong> with the <strong>SCAM<\/strong> label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This marks a milestone in the fight against crypto fraud and highlights the role of independent investigative reporting in forcing tech platforms to act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-honeypot-scam\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_a_Honeypot_Scam\"><\/span>What Is a Honeypot Scam?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)<\/strong> has repeatedly warned investors about deceptive practices in digital assets, including \u201choneypot\u201d smart contracts.
