OTC USDT Solicitation with Multiple Red Flags — Likely Scam
I received a solicitation asking for large purchases of USDT (Tether) using IMPS, UPI and bank cards, listing Telegram handles and WhatsApp numbers, and claiming to be an Asian equity fund offering ‘safe’ OTC USDT deals with minimums of 50–500 USDT.
I find the message inconsistent and full of red flags: contradictory statements about prepayment/advance, unverifiable boasts about being the ‘largest company in Asia,’ and private messaging via WhatsApp/Telegram — common tactics used in OTC scams and fraud.
I would not engage with these contacts. I recommend using regulated exchanges or reputable OTC desks, insist on escrow/custodian services for large transfers, and report suspicious numbers or channels to the relevant platforms and authorities.
