ApeMars Scam Alert: Fake Telegram Claim Message Emerges 

A fake claim page is now circulating in ApeMars-related Telegram groups. This ApeMars scam alert breaks down exactly what to check before clicking anything.

The message points to a domain called DASHBOARD-APEMARS.XYZ. The real, verified ApeMars site remains apemars.com. That mismatch alone is the single biggest signal something is wrong.

This isn't ApeMars' first brush with scam activity. After APRZ crashed 99.95% on June 7, 2026, official channels specifically warned holders that phishing links targeting the community would appear. This new message fits that exact pattern.

ApeMars Scam Alert: What the Fake Message Says

The circulating Telegram message uses several specific pressure tactics, according to the screenshot under review.

It claims gas fees are low right now, encouraging quick action. It tells holders to contact an admin immediately to get tokens. It references a small ETH gas fee, framed as a normal step before wallet connection.

None of that language appears on ApeMars' official channels historically. Genuine crypto claim processes don't require urgent contact with an anonymous admin.

ApeMars Scam Alert: Five Red Flags to Check

Here are the specific signals worth checking against any alert like this one.

  • Wrong domain. DASHBOARD-APEMARS.XYZ is not apemars.com. A different domain is the clearest phishing signal there is.

  • All-caps urgency. Phrases like "gas fee are low right now" are designed to short-circuit careful reading.

  • Social media blackout exploited. ApeMars' X and Instagram accounts have remained suspended since June 7, with no public explanation. Scammers use exactly this kind of silence to fill the gap with fake updates.

  • "Contact admin" instruction. No legitimate project requires a private admin conversation to release tokens you already hold.

  • Deadline pressure. A 24-hour claim window is a classic urgency tactic used to prevent people from verifying the message first.

Any one of these is a warning sign. All five together is close to a textbook phishing setup.

ApeMars Scam Alert: What Verified Holders Should Do

Three concrete rules apply here, consistent with prior guidance already issued after the June crash.

First, never connect a wallet to a URL received through Telegram. Type apemars.com manually into a browser instead of clicking any link. Second, ignore any message asking for a gas fee payment to "unlock" or "claim" tokens you already own in your wallet — that structure is designed specifically to drain funds during the connection step.

Third, treat any "contact admin" instruction as disqualifying on its own. Legitimate claim portals don't require a private conversation before release.

If a wallet has already been connected to the fake domain, disconnect immediately and move remaining funds to a new wallet as a precaution.

Conclusion

This ApeMars scam alert covers a fake claim portal actively targeting APRZ holders through Telegram. The real APRZ site remains apemars.com — nothing else. Verify every link manually, ignore urgent admin-contact demands, and never pay a gas fee to "unlock" tokens already in your wallet.
