A new type of fraud has appeared in Telegram, associated with the mass hijacking of users' personal accounts through…
Professional channels
Scammers send a message on behalf of "support" and claim that the user's account is at risk of deletion. To avoid this, you need to go through "verification" via a special link in a secret chat.
