It is common knowledge that telegram is a gathering place for scammers, I often get invitations to join groups that are not genuine,
if the group has started to overdo it for promotions or giveaway I have indicated it is a scam and was very careful and immediately left the group
thats not good if we taged telegram as a place for scammers because telegram didnt want this to happen in the first place and newbies that will read this are going to get discourage of using a telegram .
telegram is stilll one of the best meaaging app nowadays in my opinion and it is easy to spot a scam or a scam inside the app, you can just ignore , report and leave . as simple as that , no need to descredit the platform itself .
