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. The fact that makes telegram so dangerous that it's so easy to impersonate a person there. And add a little bit of TG premiemness, makes the whole thing looks like the original users. Surely a newbie might think that a verified user (basically the premium user's stickers) wouldn't try to scam people.

If I receive a random message on telegram, then I do block the person immediately, I don’t even trust any random person you meet on telegram, seriously scammers are definitely making use of telegram to scam people. If you receive a message from a person which you know, make sure you look for other ways to confirm the person’s identity most especially if they are requesting for funds from you to confirm you are chatting with the right person, and not a scammer. If you have other means to reach them, try communicate with them to confirm if the person is really the one chatting you.

I have seen lots of people being scammed on telegram before, and some of those scam happened through impersonation, and definitely people are going to be falling for tricks like this most especially newbies that don’t have idea about how things work in telegram.
