There are lots of scheme like that even back then.
Even a newbie one will not fall easily on that kind of scheme even they didn't encountered it yet. Those who got scammed didn't used their common sense. Im sorry for the word but being a newbie is not really a reason why they fall on that.
Anyways thanks for the heads up OP and hope that it will served as reference for others.
Okay so you're reporting that Telegram "mining bots" that are being advertised are scams. True that. But then you're advertising a YouTube channel that exposes Telegram scams, but advertises other scams through the description and the comments section? Nice.
And I think some telegram bots are being promoted there too by the channel owner itself. Didn't visited the telegram link yet to confirm it's a bot but it's quiet obvious.
Actually, it is not my youtube channel. It is uploaded by one of them who is scammed by these bots.
I suggest to delete the link as it also leads into malicious bots and ponzi scheme that is mentioned in description. A warning is enough.
