Scammers impersonating MyLead employees contact advertisers on Telegram, Skype and LinkedIn, offering to sell traffic in exchange for an upfront deposit — then vanish once paid. MyLead never sells pre-paid traffic, so any such offer is fraudulent. You can confirm an employee's identity by checking their official account name and the mylead.global or mylead.pl email domain.
This guide shows you how to recognize the impersonation scam, why MyLead never asks for deposits, and how to verify and report a suspicious contact.
What you'll learn from this article:
how scammers impersonate MyLead employees on Telegram, Skype and LinkedIn,
why MyLead never asks advertisers for a deposit to buy traffic,
how to verify whether you are talking to a real MyLead employee,
how to report a fraudulent account and protect yourself from losses.
How do scammers impersonate MyLead employees?
Fraudsters copy the names and photos of real MyLead staff, then message advertisers and partners on Telegram, Skype or LinkedIn. They offer to sell high-quality traffic for verticals such as Crypto and Forex, request a deposit to 'approve' the deal, and disappear once the money arrives. Their usernames are slightly altered copies of the genuine ones.
The examples below show real scam conversations — notice the requests for an upfront payment (often a few hundred dollars for 'finance approval') and per-GEO rates that a legitimate network would never demand from you. For more cases, read our guide on how to watch out for scammers.



Why does MyLead never ask advertisers for a deposit?
MyLead does not run a pre-paid or media-buying model where you deposit money and receive traffic in return. Every conversion is delivered by independent publishers who promote offers themselves, and the network pays those publishers rather than charging them. Because money flows from advertiser budgets to publishers — never from you to a 'manager' — any deposit request for traffic is a scam.
Legitimate media buying in affiliate marketing is something publishers do to drive traffic to offers, and MyLead simply pays its publishers for the conversions they generate.
How can you verify a MyLead employee's identity?
Verifying a MyLead employee's identity means cross-checking the username and photo of your contact against MyLead's official list of staff accounts, and confirming their email uses the mylead.global or mylead.pl domain. Any profile that fails either check — a mismatched account name or a free webmail address — is an impersonator, regardless of how convincing the conversation feels.
In practice, open MyLead's official company page, click the photo icon of the person you are talking to, and compare the account name shown there with the profile sending you messages. If the names differ, or the email domain is anything other than mylead.global or mylead.pl, you are dealing with a scammer.
How do you report a scammer impersonating MyLead?
Reporting a MyLead impersonator means forwarding the suspicious message, username or profile link to MyLead's official support team, which verifies the contact and works to remove the fraudulent account. Because deleting accounts on Telegram, Skype or LinkedIn takes time, fast reporting limits how many advertisers and partners the scammer can reach.
If you receive a doubtful message or spot a fake post, send it to MyLead — the team will confirm whether it is genuine and handle the takedown. Never transfer money or share your account credentials before that verification is complete.
Key takeaways
MyLead never sells pre-paid traffic — any contact asking for a deposit in exchange for traffic is a scammer, not an employee.
Genuine MyLead employees only write from mylead.global or mylead.pl email addresses; any other domain is a red flag.
Verify every new contact against MyLead's official staff list before you discuss deals or money.
MyLead is a publisher-driven network — you earn commissions by promoting offers, and the platform never charges you for traffic.
Report suspicious messages or profiles to MyLead immediately so the fraudulent account can be removed.
