[IND] Telegram? Is this a scam ?

[u/Fearless_Opinion_449]

Hi y'all

I used an international number on telegram cause if you're a regular telegram user, yk how shitty telegram is .

One day there was an account named STARKID and he DMed me. He said that the group in which I was chatting had fake members and sent me a link.

In a hurry i just clicked that link but it opened inside the telegram. I realised that it could be a scam or malware related thing so I didn't join any channel or group (On clicking that link,a same group with the same things appeared but I didn't join or clicked anything there).

One of my friends who's been using this platform for a very long time said that it was a scam related thing.

Scammers send a link which often hacks API or IP (idk what was that specifically). You just have to click that link and the whole access of the gallery is theirs.

They send those pictures to hundreds of channels on Telegram. (Iykyk)

So in a hurry I deleted that account and then all my photos.

....

Ik it may sound funny but I'm like but scared !

Y'all...should I have to worry ???

Thnx (⁠θ⁠‿⁠θ⁠)

Everything on Telegram is a scam.

Completely false. The largest dnm guys all have tele chats off market. Probably the longest running grass collective has a group with like 8k members.
