Underground Buyers Wanting Old Telegram Groups – Why? : Fraud | Torhoo darknet markets
Hey fam,
A few weeks ago, a random guy messaged me with this:
Buying Old Telegram Groups
No Members Needed
Years: 2013–2023
Price:
• 2013–2022 = up to $11
• 2023 = up to $8
Out of curiosity, I sent him one of my old groups from 2021 — literally had just 4-5 members, completely useless.
📥He sent me $11 instantly
After that first deal, I went all in:
Started scraping and creating old groups
Flipped over 100+ groups
But here’s what I’m wondering:
🔹 Why are people paying this much for empty, dead groups?
🔹 Is it for trust score, spam bypass, resale, automation?
🔹 Anyone know what the exact use case is?
Automated scripts use these old groups to spread content, collect data, or simulate "organic" activity.
