⚠ Be cautious of scams! Only use official bots listed here.
Discover the ultimate platform for connecting with vendors and browse their shop bots.
Welcome to Utopia! An easy to use Telegram-based marketplace. While buying is simple and secure once you know how, there are a few actions you can take to keep safe and prevent getting scammed. This guide will hopefully cover all things you need to know for the buying process.
Always ensure you're using either Utopia.markets or @HUB_UTBOT to access to the official list of all shop bots. Ensure that you only get the right bots from these sources. Avoid using the Telegram search to find bots since scammers will have tried to make deceptive fakes. These fake bots might request you to send money again or provide more details for an order; do not entertain them and report to an admin. Also, legitimate sellers would never message you asking for more money.
For privacy-focused purchases, avoid exchanges that require ID verification (KYC). Some possible options: KYCNOT.ME – Lists non-KYC exchanges worldwide. Bisq – A decentralized Bitcoin exchange. Peach Bitcoin – P2P Bitcoin buying with no KYC. Noones – Alternative to LocalBitcoins.
All orders you should encrypt your message using PGP to keep it private. PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) encrypts messages so that only the vendor can read them. Always encrypt your shipping details before sending them. If you don't have access to a PC, you can use Utopia's in-built PGP tool at /pgp For enhanced security, turn off wifi and mobile data while using it. Alternative tools, like those found at temp.pm, offer less security and are not recommended over PGP. Remember to follow the provided address format to avoid any issues.
What if I don’t receive my order? Check the vendor’s estimated delivery times.** There may be delays with the posting service. Contact the vendor through the bot if you have concerns. If a vendor does not respond, start a ticket using the Utopia Contact Bot for assistance.
