Is telegram.me legit or a scam?
Official Telegram username contact page (@nwwfh8) on legitimate infrastructure but flagged malicious by 5 antivirus engines including ESET and Fortinet, with the path hardcoded in stealers.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The page is a standard Telegram contact link for @nwwfh8, hosted on official Telegram servers with a 2014 registration date. However, five antivirus engines—ADMINUSLabs, CyRadar, Dr.Web, ESET, and Fortinet—detect it as malicious or malware. The hosting IP has 35 abuse reports, and this exact path shows up in malware sandboxes as part of phishing payloads. One scam report flags telegram.me for brand impersonation, though the domain itself is legitimate. These signals outweigh the clean browser blocklists and sandbox.
