What kind of information was asked in the verification?
There was no response after I sent them the message, it was automatically removed the next day.
No one here can do anything about it, so just be patient and wait for Telegram support to respond.
If it's okay with you, could you share here how the SCAM label looks like? And may I ask how did you confirm that you have that label? This is something new to me as I've never heard someone with the same experience before.
PS. Tbh, I personally don't think Telegram is a good platform to do an exchange, especially with a bot.

Some of the exchange bots on Telegram within Russia do volumes of over 1000 BTC a week! We are kind of late in the game.
PS: We never scammed anyone on our service, our only goal is to allow people to exchange bitcoins privately. That was the reason we built it on Telegram, to bypass the regulations. and make the P2P process much simpler than Localbitcoins.
Not vouching or saying anything about your service but this is what happen when you depend too much on a platform that is not own by you. Do you have any other social media presence? Do you have any email list? How are you going to update your clients about the status of the channel.I see you already have a site which is good. Instead of depending on telegram or third party service why not develop an app for yourself and market it.
I understand the reasoning of depending too much on Telegram. But initially considering security and privacy aspects of Telegram, we thought it was the best option to provide and private way for people to exchange BTC (localbitcoins & others gets frequently blocked and recently they also stopped cash deals!).
Otherwise, if we had to do a website or app we would have to comply with KYC etc. The P2P process as a bot is actually simpler and faster than using localbitcoins.com.
I don't see anything on this forum that shows you or the bot have been labelled a scammer. That tells me this is solely a telegram issue, and I have no idea how scam tags or accusations work there, didn't even know they existed. What you should work on doing to add legitimacy to your project on this forum is be active. Bring in information, be open and clear about how things are working.
As it is your [ANN] looks sketchy and lacks detail; just an observation. I suggest an overhaul this will assist how your project is viewed by the public, that in itself helps dispel fears of a scam.
I suggest moving this to "Service Discussion' as it's a discussion about telegram/your service.

This is in regards to our service on Telegram.
I do agree, our presence here is close to zero - hope to change this soon
. Right now, it is only me and my friend doing the development fulltime.Edit: (trying to figure out how I can move this post!)
Here is what I understand from the FAQ:
https://telegram.org/faq_spam
Q: What do I do now?
If this happened to you for the first time (and you are not an industrial scale spammer), most likely your account will be limited for a few days or so. Please wait and consider that people want a peaceful time using our messenger.
Repeated offences will result in longer periods of being blocked. If you keep writing unwanted messages to strangers, you may lose the ability to do so forever.
Q: I read all of the above, and Im certain that I didnt break any rules!
If you are sure that the limit was wrongfully applied to your account, please contact our @SpamBot.
Please forgive us for the inconvenience even the best systems, algorithms and well-trained people can make mistakes sometimes.
So I guess the best thing you can is contact @SpamBot and put as much detail as possible and explain what happen. Tell them that someone competitor (according to you) has sabotage your account and you didn't violate any rules. Goodluck!!!
You have to wait though, as they explain they aren't bots, might take days before you will get the final decision from them.

looks like @spambot is only for accounts that get blocked due to spamming(not bots reported for spam). Will try anyway, thanks for the info.
We have a Bitcoin exchange service running on Telegram bot. Our service has been getting quite a growth in usage and a lot of people have been relying on us to buy Bitcoins.
See our launch post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5164062
Today something unexpected happened, we got a 'SCAM' label on Telegram. Here is what happened:
Two days back (19th September) I got a secret change from someone('Frank') saying that our bot will get a scam label. I thought he was another scammer like usual, I mostly ignored but replied to him saying that our service is legitimate.

(He deleted some of the messages before I took the screenshot)
Conversation as I remember:
2 days later
This time I took screenshots faster before he could delete the messages.

I had contacted Telegram support but haven't received any response from them yet.
Any suggestion on what we can do about this would be really helpful!
PS: We never scammed anyone on our service, our only goal is to allow people to exchange bitcoins privately. That was the reason we built it on Telegram, to bypass the regulations. and make the P2P process much simpler than Localbitcoins.
UPDATE: We got our scam label removed, thanks for all the help. For anyone facing a similar issue, you just need to message @botsupport, they did some kind of verification and all good now
The attacker created a lot of accounts to report spam on our bot, this raised the flag on Telegram.

Me: Its not a scam bot
Frank: I know yours is not a scam

Re: Question about opening current account for bitcoin trading
I trade large volumes too, but I only convert to INR when I have to pay bills, etc rest is always in USDC / BTC. I think the situation for India is too shaky at the moment and in some cases you are automatically flagged for dealing in crypto (some of my friends have been locked out of their own bank!).
To answer your question: If you are moving large BTC >-> INR to / from your bank, you should open a current account, this will only remove of certain limitations in the savings account.
Regarding taxes, you should consult a CA. I used ClearTax and they were very helpful for gst / tax.
TIP: For safe and anonymous P2P exchange, you can try https://megadeals.io.

SO, did anyone try this? 
You can try in our group to find people who have successfully traded using our platform.
hard to believe, maybe because you are a newbie.
but how will they believe in this exchange. let's look at other, more real clues.

Yes, true! I wouldn't trust any random exchange either. For start, you can place an order without making any deposits if you think there is a risk of losing funds. You can use it solely to get contacts to trade directly, most users right now seem to be using that way.
It is highly dangerous to use such bots. I would consider myself to use decntralised exchange instead.
For P2P trade there are a some good decentralised options. You can try https://bisq.network/ which is awesome, but a little less convenient to use and slightly higher fees.
2nd link is broken, I think you meant to link to this Telegram group: https://t.me/megadealschat
I tried the bot, it wouldn't hurt if it was possible to add info about the location for cash trades.
Fixed #2.
You can update your payment info for cash trades (location / city name) from your account or your order itself.
We have built an exchange bot on Telegram to exchange Bitcoins in your local currency. If you are already using localbitcoins on other P2P it should feel similar but with more convenient, simple, fast and more importantly anonymous.

I'm trying to build a good security for my online bitcoin based application. Is something like this possible?
The "Wallet keys" will be my hot wallet. There will be another wallet store which would be used for cold storage. The "bitcoin core" will be some trusted public node that I don't control.
Does using this architecture have any disadvantages over running a full bitcoin core to keep addresses?
I need to get callbacks for new transactions on the list of addresses in my store, that is not managed by bitcoin core. Is it possible using this method?
My reason is that running a full "bitcoin core" takes up too much computing resources & disk which is expensive on cloud and by doing this I can avoid having to run and maintain a bitcoin node. I can submit a signed transaction to any trusted node.
