A impersonation scam report.

Narrative evidence

What happened

An impersonation scam involving cryptocurrency was reported on 1 September 2026. I was contacted on Telegram by an account impersonating a Polymarket copy-trading bot operator. They directed me to a Telegram bot presenting itself as an official Polymarket trading bot, which generated this address as a "deposit address" claimed to be linked to my own Polymarket profile. The same scam script is distributed via at least two Telegram channels with near-identical step-by-step "instructions": "Инструкция к ICEBERG" (bot: @IcebergBrokerBot) and "Инструкция OVERDOG" (bot: t.me/overdog_bot). When I pressed the operator on the technical mechanism, they confirmed in writing that the copy-trading connection requires an "Unlimited" token allowance, and stated verbatim that this means they "could zero out the account at any moment." They refused to disclose whether the API key used has Trading-only or also Funding (withdrawal) scope, or who generates that key. I did not send any funds. Reporting this address preemptively to prevent other users from depositing into it.
