2- Go to Privacy and Security.
3- Go to Groups & channels.

Thank you, my friend, for this help. We really need to beware of the telegram because it now contains a lot of scammers. I was exposed to a fraud by the telegram bots when I was a beginner and I lost my money when I deposited with it.

[BTC Future 3946]

This will help people avoid getting invited into groups, although it does not block unknown accounts from directly messaging you.

I'd love an option to block all incoming private messages in telegram. I'm only using it for the group options and pm's are just the hundreds of scammers infesting all channels trying to waste my time with their silly messages starting always with : Hello (pause of 1 minute, like I should say something) and followed by "How are you".

Totally stupid waste of time and irritating trash scammers.

I was once added to two unknown telegram scam projects channels without my concern and later on I was scammed after being convinced with fake payments proofs that where displayed in the group chat therefore,its always important to stay safe by following the privacy procedure given above if you are a telegram user.

[Rezort 846]

I thought that this settings was set "my contacts" by default, because I have never changed it and it is set so. However, if you have this on "everybody" you are really in danger place.

[bentayebsalah 2280]

Yes, this should be enabled for privacy, to increase the protection of your Telegram account and to avoid receiving bots that steal your information

[SuperCrypto 7193]

I have previously encountered a number of bots aiming to advertise the bot to collect the largest possible number of victims through referral links. Simply think of them if you want to withdraw. Spread the referral link and most likely a scam and fraud system.

The crypto world contains a very large number of scammers, but the largest percentage of these fraudsters returns in the application of Telkram and I have been exposed to a lot of them within the application so we have to pay attention to them as much as possible and stay away from entry to everything random and anonymous, so thank you for this participation and I hope that everyone activates These options are as shown in the explanation

Frankly, the telram application contains a very large number of fraudsters and these fraudsters from all over the world and their goal is only to get a victim and steal it and what you say is true I have activated this option a while ago because I was getting a large number of messages that were being sent by the fraudsters Always

Thank you, I have already done so to prevent adding to groups of people I do not know and without my permission, because that is what is really happening and is annoying from these scammers.

You are right in this regard. The telegram community is full of this situation and you are always exposed to these messages that your friends are luring you or your grandmother to them in order to start the next process and the monument will take place on you. I did it already, but despite that I get messages from someone who shares my group with you. Less thing you can do Ignore
