​Zangi, Signal, and Telegram, the reason you see many fake people depends on how the app is used.

• Telegram has the biggest problem with fake accounts because it's easy to create multiple accounts with virtual phone numbers, and public groups are common. Scammers, bots, and spam accounts are widespread.

• Signal generally has far fewer fake accounts. Registration requires a phone number, there are no public social feeds, and discovery is limited, making it less attractive for scammers.

• Zangi also tends to have fewer fake accounts than Telegram because it focuses on private messaging and calls rather than large public communities. However, fake profiles can still appear if someone uses disposable numbers or contacts strangers.

Common reasons fake accounts exist include:

• Romance scams.
• Cryptocurrency or investment scams.
• Selling fake products or services.
• Collecting personal information.
• Sending spam or phishing links.
• Automated bots promoting channels or websites.

Some warning signs of a fake account:

• Profile photo looks like a professional model.
• Wants to move the conversation quickly.
• Declares love or friendship very soon.
• Asks for money, gift cards, or cryptocurrency.
• Refuses to verify their identity with a live video call.
• Profile has very little information or was recently created.

If you're meeting new people online, a simple live video call is one of the best ways to verify that someone is who they claim to be. Never send money or share sensitive personal information with someone you haven't verified.
