To quickly and succinctly identify legitimate Binance bots on Telegram, focus on these key points:
Official Source: Always look for the bot or channel from the official Binance website (binance.com) or their verified social media (Twitter/X, Binance Square). Never trust third-party links or unsolicited messages.
Telegram Verification: The bot or channel must have the blue verification tick next to its name. This is crucial.
Exact Username: Check the bot's username (e.g. @BinanceOfficialBot) down to the last detail. Scammers use minimal variations (dashes, changed letters).
No Requests for Personal Data: A legitimate bot will never ask you for your Binance password, 2FA keys, seed phrase, or to deposit money to "activate" gains directly on Telegram.
Realistic Promises: Be wary of bots that promise guaranteed profits or exaggerated returns. Scams often offer returns that are "too good to be true."
API Permissions (if applicable): If it’s a third-party trading bot (be very careful here), make sure that, if you give it your API keys, it only has "read" and "trading" permissions, never "withdrawal!"
In summary: Look for the blue check, verify the name, and never share your sensitive data. Security comes first!
