Thanks for keeping confidentiality, I respect your work. Although I use disposable numbers always for keeping myself anonymous. Thanks for the explaination. Now I've learned about it. Probably this Telegram handle was used by someone else , cause I did purchase telegram from a 3rd party vendor. The bot history was cleared so everything came to me as a new user.
Well, it's not up to me to say anything, just sharing and happy it wasn't a bug on my end....
FYI, I don't have access to phone numbers or any other sensitive information.
But shouldn't it reset after /start command?
/start just runs the setup again, but nothing is deleted. I guess it makes sense for the merit cache to be cleared if you're changing the user id.
For hard reset there is /hardreset.
