Telegram has faced scrutiny for its handling of illegal marketplaces like Xinbi Guarantee and Haowang Guarantee, which offered a range of banned services. After a report highlighted these criminal activities, Telegram banned several accounts connected to these illegal markets. Despite this purge, Xinbi Guarantee reestablished itself with new accounts and continued its operations unhindered. Although Telegram officially prohibits such activities, its enforcement appears inconsistent, as they have yet to take action against other highlighted markets, leading to ongoing concerns regarding money laundering and scamming on the platform.
Telegram stated, "communities previously reported to us by WIRED...have all been taken down," referring to the broad purge of illegal service markets on their platform.
Despite Telegram's prior bans, Xinbi Guarantee has re-emerged with new accounts, continuing operations that violate Telegram's terms of service.
