**Scammers are targeting the Alephium community** with a fake Telegram group migration exploit. The fraudulent group appears identical to the official channel and pushes users to "migrate" their assets - a common crypto scam tactic. **Key warning signs:** - Unsolicited messages from fake admins - Requests to migrate accounts or assets - Fake airdrop announcements **Stay safe by:** - Verifying information through official channels only - Never sharing private keys or seed phrases - Being suspicious of urgent migration requests This appears to be a recurring scam pattern affecting the $ALPH community. Always double-check group authenticity before taking any action.
