This is not new and it happens long time ago. This is also the reason why I don't like to use that platform since anyone can create the same name with famous people that's why lots of people get exploited and scammed especially if they are new then didn't know that such activities happened there.
That's why its really good to verify always who are those people reaching you out since once you post something in the community you are following for sure that you receive a lot of message from scammers so better not to entertain any of those. Then also remember the word that admin on groups will never send you pm first usually the people do that are frauds.
yes i agree with you
there are many there using fake accounts and profile photos, which are used to deceive and trick people in it,
as if it is a real person, when in fact it is not
usually i search on the internet about the name of the person in the telegram, if there is and a good reputation, then i believe it but still be careful
if there is no name on the internet then i can be sure that it is just a fake name or fake profile photo
