ADELIX MEDIA presents itself as an official Telegram Ads reseller, but its claims are not supported by public data: the domain is younger than the experience the company claims, there is no legal entity or contract, and payment is accepted only in cryptocurrency. Clients on several review sites write about money that was not returned, bot traffic and threats from managers. We have gathered the facts you can verify yourself along with the client complaints, and we don’t recommend topping up ad accounts through this company.
What ADELIX MEDIA promises
On adelixmedia.com, the company calls itself an “official Telegram Ads reseller and partner” with “over 3 years” of experience. According to the website as of October 2026:
- account top-up: from $100 (in one review, a client mentions a minimum of $50);
- payment: cryptocurrency or “other methods agreed with a manager”;
- launch: “within 5 minutes”, moderation within 24 hours, 24/7 support and a personal manager;
- results: “500+ clients”, “1,000+ campaigns” and case studies with 320–350% ROI.
The website does not state the commission, the company’s legal details or the contract terms. The company also targets advertisers from Russia but does not accept payment in rubles.
What you can verify yourself
Several of ADELIX MEDIA’s claims can be checked against public data in a few minutes.
| Company claim | What the check shows |
|---|---|
| “Over 3 years of experience” | The domain adelixmedia.com was registered on September 29, 2025. You can see this in WHOIS data, for example via 2ip.io or ScamAdviser. As of October 2026, the website is about a year old. |
| “Official Telegram Ads reseller” | We found no public confirmation of a partnership with Telegram. The website gives no legal entity name, company registration number or tax ID, no public offer or contract and no contact email, and the domain owner is hidden. |
| Top-up from $100 | The resellers we have reviewed usually start at €250 to €500. A Telegram Ads euro account requires a large deposit from the reseller, so a token minimum is a reason to be cautious. |
| Cryptocurrency-only payment | Without a contract and accounting documents, you cannot prove the expense, label the ads as the law requires (Russia, for example, has mandatory ad labeling) or recover your money through the courts. |
| Case studies and ROI | The site description says “ROI up to 300%”, the case studies show 320% and 350%, and the demo dashboard shows “+0% ROI”. Licenses and GDPR compliance are claimed but not backed by anything. |
None of these points proves deception on its own. Taken together, though, they mean the client has no way to verify where the money goes.
What clients say
Below is a summary of complaints from public sources. These are the claims of the review authors and have not been independently verified, but the pattern they describe repeats across different reviews.
Statistics that arrive “in bursts” and a CPM 4–8 times above the market
In a review on SCAM-radar (May 2026), the author says a manager contacted him first on Telegram and offered to advertise his bot. According to the author:
- in genuine Telegram Ads, impressions build up gradually, but here there were several days of silence, then a sudden spike of 300 views and 5 clicks, then silence again;
- the manager insisted on a CPM of $20 to $40, otherwise “impressions won’t run”, although with real resellers the market level is €1–5 per 1,000 impressions;
- after a 100 USDT test, the author topped up another 600 USDT; impressions stopped for several days at a time, and the growth screenshots sent by the manager did not match his own statistics;
- users who came to the bot, as he observed, arrived in batches every 30–60 seconds, with empty profiles and sequential IDs, and did nothing in the bot;
- the money was not returned, and after he mentioned reporting the crypto wallets, he says he received threats and was blocked.
The author also admits his own mistake: he launched the test campaign without UTM tags, so he could not immediately tell where the users were coming from.
Threats and insults from managers
In the comments on that review and in a second review on SCAM-radar (around July 2026), users write that managers gave evasive and aggressive answers, insulted clients and threatened their relatives after they refused to continue working together. One commenter says Binance warned him about complaints against the company’s wallet address. In the second review, the author also writes that he never received access to the ad account or control over the budget.
Refusal to refund money, and bots instead of users
Similar complaints appear on Trustpilot:
- Review dated May 17, 2026 (a user from Kazakhstan): the client was promised a refund if he was not satisfied, but after he stopped using the service, the $100 was not returned and he himself was blacklisted.
- Review dated May 15, 2026 (a user from Germany): the author calls the service a fake platform with no real access to Telegram Ads. He put in $100, then another $600, and after tagging his campaigns with separate links, he found that all the incoming users were bots without profile pictures that did not reply to messages. After he questioned the manager, he says he was threatened with “consequences for spreading information” and blocked.
To be fair, the same sites also carry positive reviews of the company. But the detailed negative reviews describe the same sequence: a small test, a large top-up, bot traffic, a refused refund and threats.
How a real reseller differs from a fly-by-night intermediary
The official resellers we have reviewed in our Resellers section share features that ADELIX MEDIA lacks:
- A legal entity and a contract. A company name, a company registration number or tax ID, a public offer or contract, and accounting documents.
- Account access. You see your own Telegram Ads account and statistics directly, not through a manager’s screenshots.
- A transparent commission. The rate is published or written into the contract: usually 15–20%, higher for some niches.
- Market-level bids. You set the CPM yourself in the account, and the minimum bid in a euro account is around €0.7–1, not $20–40.
- Ad labeling. For ads shown in Russia, the law requires labeling: the reseller reports data to an ad data operator (ORD) and issues erid tokens. Read more in our article on ad labeling in Russia.
- A track record. Reviews and mentions in industry media and the Telegram community going back several years.
How to check a reseller before you pay
- Find the legal entity. Ask for the company details and check the company in your country’s business registry.
- Check the domain. Compare the WHOIS registration date with how many years the company claims to have been operating.
- Look for reviews. Search for “name + reviews” and “name + scam”, check Trustpilot and the Telegram chats where marketers discuss contractors.
- Ask for account access. Before paying, confirm that you will have your own access to Telegram Ads.
- Compare bids with the market. If you are asked to set a CPM several times higher than €1–5, that is a reason to stop.
- Pay under a contract. Pay against an invoice issued by a legal entity, not by transfer to a personal crypto wallet.
- Tag your traffic from day one. UTM tags, a separate link for each ad and the pixel will show whether real users are coming in. Our articles on metrics and the Telegram Ads pixel explain how.
General criteria for choosing an intermediary are covered in how to choose a Telegram Ads reseller.
What to do if you have already paid
- Keep the evidence: chat history, statistics screenshots, wallet addresses and transaction hashes.
- Notify the exchange you sent the cryptocurrency from: exchanges have forms for reporting addresses.
- Report the manager’s account to Telegram using the “Report” feature.
- Contact the police if the amount is significant or you are being threatened.
FAQ
Is ADELIX MEDIA an official Telegram Ads reseller?
The company describes itself that way, but it does not publish its legal entity, contract or company details, and we found no public confirmation of a partnership with Telegram. The resellers we have reviewed do provide this information.
Can I run ads through ADELIX MEDIA?
We don’t recommend it. Crypto-only payment without a contract, no access to the ad account and repeated client complaints about unreturned money and bot traffic add up to too high a risk.
Why is a $50–100 minimum suspicious?
Resellers work through large Telegram Ads euro accounts and usually require €250–500 to start. A token minimum is often used so that the client does not become wary on the first payment.
What CPM is normal for Telegram Ads?
The minimum bid in a euro account is around €0.7–1 per 1,000 impressions, and in practice bids are usually within a few euros. A demand to bid $20–40 per 1,000 impressions “or there will be no impressions” is not something you see on the market.
How can I spot bot traffic?
Signs include subscriptions arriving in batches over short intervals, empty profiles with no photo, sequential IDs and no activity after subscribing. Compare the ad account data with your bot or channel analytics.
Can ADELIX MEDIA respond to this article?
Yes. If the company provides its company details, a contract and confirmation of its reseller status, we will review them and update this article.
