Telegram-based phishing service Classiscam hits European marketplaces

At least 40 cybercriminal gangs are using a scam-as-a-service that relies on Telegram bots to provide pages that impersonate popular classifieds, marketplaces, and delivery services. When pretending to be a customer, they send a fake payment form obtained from a Telegram bot that impersonates a marketplace. The seller then gets a fake form asking for card details in order to receive the alleged payment. Classiscam does not require technical knowledge as the Telegram bots provide a complete phishing kit. The scammer just needs to send the chatbot a link with the bait product.
