Simland (often styled “Sim Land”) is a relatively new Telegram ecosystem that appears in 2021, centered on Simswapping fraud. Its exact founders and start date are unclear, but it emerged amid a surge of Telegram abuse by fraudsters2
By mid‑2024, researchers like Intel 471 were tracking thousands of illicit Telegram channels (over 5,700) offering things like SIM swapping and OTP. During this period, Telegram came under pressure (e.g. France indicted Telegram’s CEO in August 2024 for allowing illegal content and reportedly began banning crime-related groups. Simland’s original channel was said to be banned around that time. In this context, a new “Sim Land” network of channels was created. According to its own directory, Simland bills itself as “The Simland Network”
