BEWARE of Telegram Group Member adding services

[daniahya]

I am often added to telegram groups that I don't know about, even though I have never joined a telegram group. However, I immediately left the telegram group because I did not understand why they added me to a telegram that I did not know about the group's contents and goals.

Just adding this to make sure that this post belongs to service section: If you need to advertise your project or group on telegram, we can send custom private messages. We can send your custom message to millions on telegram and we charge 1.2 btc for 1 million messages. We can target users as you want. For example, if you want crypto member, we get user ids from binance, okex groups etc. We can target any field.

Is this part of the precaution you are talking on here or just a side marketing for your services? 1.2 BTC for 1 million messages? Thats a total waste of money on such service.
About on those telegram groups member adding service i shall say that its still useless if those members being added arent targeted on its specific market.So its total pointless.

"1.2 BTC for 1 million messages? Thats a total waste of money on such service." It is really not. Sending a good advertisement to millions can be very effective if you send a good message.

"About on those telegram groups member adding service i shall say that its still useless if those members being added arent targeted on its specific market.So its total pointless.". People ask what is the group about and then admins start flooding the group with fake proofs. People new in crypto believes that they can double their money in a day because of price flactulations. They invest 20-100$ for start and never get anyting back.

This is the problem when you joined a group that is composed of cryptocurrency enthusiasts. More likely they will add you on another group that they created without you knowing. Just like what OP said, just hit spam and leave the group. Is there a settings in telegram that does not allow anyone to add you in a group with out your permission? Sometimes its really annoying to see that you are added to a new group that you did not join.

For telegram users, if you want to avoid such a hassle of being added on random groups:

1. Open telegram app
2. Go to Settings
3. Click Privacy and Security
4. Under Privacy, click Groups
5. Select My Contacts,  instead of Everybody
6. (optional) Under Add Exceptions, you can add users on Never allow too

Explore the Privacy and Security page to see what else you can do (ex. Manage your Blocked users, Who can call you, etc).

Wow I had Been using telegram for long time now but never had a chance that I explore this and by surprise?here now there are plenty of action I can do just to protect from being added without permission or being spammed by private message from random scammers

Thank you for this now I am exploring my apps lol 😂
