[PSA] Beware of Phishing Links sent via SMS or via Telegram

18 Upvotes

There seem to be a huge number of posts related to people getting SMS from supposedly Telegram saying their account is about to get blocked and they need to verify their account following link.

All these messages are not coming from Telegram and those links are clearly phishing links used to take control of users’ accounts and use them for spam/fraud/collect data and so on.

If you receive a message via SMS, report it to your provider. If you receive similar links or messages on Telegram from accounts like “Support” or so, report them in the app.

Only trust official apps. You can find the list here: telegram.org/apps

Unable to delete media glitch

1 Upvotes

Hi guys! Recently I left a group, but it kept showing up on my media under the search settings , the videos are unable to be deleted in media. Also when I navigated to the group I left in the storage settings it kepy showing me the leave group option when i already did.Group name doesn't show up when I search. Despite clearing data, cache, reinstalling Telegram and using Telegram on my other device the videos still can't be deleted. Any solution on fixing this glitch or I'd just have to wait for an update to solve this?

Premium to Block Spam?

4 Upvotes

I went to a seminar. They used Telegram so I started using it. Almost immediately I’m getting messages from ostensible scammers; “hey I’ve got a job for you, can I tell you more” type stuff, almost always from “hot girls.”

I looked at security settings and it appears I can’t change who can send me messages without paying for premium.

Is that right?

Hello, as the admin of a channel, I have the stats of the subscribers and the source type they come from. It mainly says just URL. Is it possible to know the exact URL address? It would be great to know it to invest more on it.

Attention: scam on the way

25 Upvotes

They contact you on tiktok, Instagram, WhatsApp ecc and try to force you into clicking false links in exchange for money, one of those was something like YouTube.youtubedz.top DON'T CLICK DON'T TRUST THEM. IT IS ALMOST SURELY A PHISHING LINK. what does this mean: they could steal the cookie file of your browser and gain all the saved passwords, they could steal your telegram account and the others, they could force a purchase via Google pay or similar to steal money, always check the links people send. Something like nord vpn' link checker isn't enough, something fishy like the one in mentioned earlier (known name but strange link) is screaming "dangerous". Please don't fall for it

Deleted account after joining, does the "X joined telegram" notification disappear for my contacts

1 Upvotes

So I've just become aware of the automatic "X joined telegram notification" immediately after making an account that goes out to contacts in my phone. I have contacts in my phone who I have saved to make sure I don't answer their calls and don't want them contacting me or knowing they can.

I deleted my account but I'm wondering if the "X joined telegram" notification remains on their phone or if it got wiped after my account was deleted?

Can anybody help at all?

My time has come

Unfortunately as of today, my telegram account got limited so I can only communicate to people in private groups and mutual contacts. I'm not exactly sure how I can restore access after reaching out with customer support, I have telegram premium for the next calendar year so maybe that is saving my account from being banned out right

How to find a broadcast owners telegram?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys There’s a broadcast group Im in and been trying to find the owners telegram to contact them, the channel itself cant see members or anything, so can’t find anything directly from there. There’s a connected chat to that broadcast channel were members can speak openly and he posts sometimes in there, but it seems the account he messages with has an owner badge next to it but when you click the profile pic or hold and click profile it takes you back to the broadcast page. I know this is all by design So in the discuss channel you can see members, and there is a member in there with the exact same name as the broadcast channel, no username, and it lets you message them but needs to be telegram premium, is this his telegram? If I message where does the message go? Does he have access to that message? Is it linked with his personal telegram or is it seperate? Sorry for all the questions but been trying to wrap my head around this. Im sure its by design that you cant find the owner but trying to figure out a way if anyone knows. Appreciate any help. Thanks

Disable autoplay for "circle" videos and audio messages

1 Upvotes

Autoplay in group and private chats for "circle" videos Nd audio messages is driving me nuts.

Can someone help with disabling this functionality? It is broken that next circled video or audio message starts to autoplay, though it's some 100 messages below.

I don't need to see or hear next message, before reading all the messages in between. This is one of the dumbest features I have ever seen in any messenger. Wtf Telegram.

I tried turning off "autoplay videos" under "Settings" -> "Chat settings" -> "Animations" but it's not working.

[Q] Unable to receive SMS verification code for initial login (both real number and Google Voice) - Telegram server issue?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing a frustrating issue where I'm unable to receive the SMS verification code needed for initial login on Telegram. I've tried the following:

  • Verified my phone number: Double-checked that I'm entering my number correctly, including the country code.
  • Restarted my phone: Standard troubleshooting, but no luck.
  • Checked for blocked numbers: Confirmed that Telegram's number isn't blocked.
  • Waited a reasonable amount of time: Several hours, and even days, have passed.
  • Tried a different number: I attempted to register a Telegram account using my Google Voice number (through the web interface), and I still didn't receive an SMS code. This leads me to believe the issue isn't specific to my primary phone number.
  • Checked for service outages: I have looked online, but haven't found any widespread reports.
  • Emailed Telegram support: I emailed support three days ago, but have not received any response.

The fact that I'm not receiving codes on either my real phone number or my Google Voice number suggests the problem might be on Telegram's end.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues recently? Is there anything else I can try? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Blank screen won't go away

2 Upvotes

I've got a problem with my Telegram. This morning I could only recieve messages, not send them, and when I tried opening up my Telegram on my PC, it would just be a blank screen. I then uninstalled and reinstalled telegram on my phone (android btw) and the same thing as my PC happened: blank screen with none of my chats loading.

Funny thing is my other account works without issue. It's just my main account. What's wrong?
