Official links and how to spot fakes

2 min readUpdated Aug 7, 2026

There are exactly two official surfaces:

  • Bot: @tgpaycryptobot
  • Mini App: crypto.tgpaybot.com

Anything else — another bot, another domain, a “web wallet”, a mobile app in a store, a browser extension — is not us.

Check the bot before you tap anything

  1. Open the chat and read the username, not the display name. Anyone can copy a name and an avatar; the @handle is the only unique part.
  2. Compare it character by character. Fakes use swaps you skim right past: tgpaycryptobot vs tgpaycrypt0bot, tg_paycryptobot, tgpaycryptobot_, tgpaycryptobotofficial.
  3. Inside the Mini App, the address bar or the “open link” prompt must show crypto.tgpaybot.com. A different domain means a different wallet — one that belongs to someone else.

How to reach support safely

Open the app, go to More → Support. That row opens the official support chat, and because you got there from inside the app you know the handle is genuine — support may run as its own separate bot, and that’s fine when the app itself took you there. Save that chat and use it every time.

Fakes you’ll actually meet

  • Look-alike “support” accounts that reply to your public message about a problem, seconds after you post it.
  • “Airdrop” or “giveaway” bots asking you to connect a wallet or send a “verification” transfer first. Real withdrawals never require you to send crypto out first.
  • Look-alike channels reposting real announcements, with the links swapped.

If you interacted with a fake, act as if your account is exposed: change your PIN, review your address allow-list, and read staying safe from scams.
