Similar topics may already exists but I'm creating this topic anyway to warn everyone, especially the newbies that NEVER trust anyone from Telegram even if it's your own brother, mother or father.
This is what I do now too. I’m always skeptical when someone asks for money. It’s not just on Telegram even on big platforms like Facebook, accounts can get hacked and you might end up talking to a scammer without knowing it. I had a friend who became a victim of that, so I’ve been extra careful ever since.
I have experienced such facebook scam message on my Facebook messenger, and the reason why I have not fall victim in facebook is because the person they hacked his account to chat me up, is just a facebook friend and assuming I have meant the person in real life I would have be victim of facebook scam, we should be conscious on social media platforms because a lot fraudulent act are going on there.
For the aspect of telegram and some people who is using telegraph, I will advice them to only give attention to message that comes from this two social media I mentioned, properly before they respond, because I have seen that in telegram people will come to you Dm just like that and establish a conversation of investment with someone unknown to them
If this people come to my Dm via telegram and I have no such contact of user, I will immediately block the user, Sometimes are this people that scam us they're not far from us, so we need to wise up.
