Official links and how to spot fakes
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
- Open the chat and read the username, not the display name. Anyone can
copy a name and an avatar; the
@handleis the only unique part. - Compare it character by character. Fakes use swaps you skim right past:
tgpaycryptobotvstgpaycrypt0bot,tg_paycryptobot,tgpaycryptobot_,tgpaycryptobotofficial. - 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.
