If you receive an outside conversation from an anonymous person better to make sure to avoid clicking links given to you and follow your guts if you think it's not safe already with your conversations.
Why talk to an stranger in the first place? The best practice for both newbies and old users of the industry is to avoid talking to anyone they don't know instead of just avoiding to click on links because they are good at what they do and they will find a way around to make you click some link or give them what they want from you. Telegram is full of such scammers, and most of the times, they impersonate other people making you think that they are someone you know so that you don't suspect and do whatever they say. So, when you receive a message from someone you know, double check if it's them or an impersonator.
Scammers are becoming smarter with time. I've seen scammers trying their luck in job offering platforms which isn't what one can think of. They will offer a job and pretend that they are about to give you a job and eventually scam you or make you do something that only benefits them.
