just like me, i dont know thats group or channels, and how long im being on that group, but i remember that im never join that group by my own, and i think its surely annoying to be forced join in some telegram group.

So I noticed I've been forcefully invited by bots into multiple telegram community which I never wanted to join.. and most of these communities are either ponzi schemes or from #icos which claim to be legit companies with one or two things to offer in the crypto space..

What can you say about this??
Can you really believe a good project with good concept would forcefully invite you into their community without any prior notice??

There's actually some guy offering telegram invite or to populate their telegram channel, no wonder some scam ICO in their telegram had inflated members, sometimes I'm surprised that I'm a member of a group where I don't remember participating, I only joined telegram of bounty I'm participating, I'm trying to minimize my group in the telegram channel for better interaction.

I don't believe it and usually i will try to leave it directly. I have been getting a lot of problems like you dude and i have invited by hundreds of ponzi telegram groups and pumping groups. They are all scammers group.
Another people can invite you too.

There are so many peoples out there forced invite me to a group which I personally even don't know what the group purpose is.

Invitation without prior notice and done by bots? A BIG NO NO. To avoid those invitations to happen again, do this.

1st : Open your telegram account, go to settings
2nd : Go to Privacy and Security
3rd : Under Privacy, go to Groups then select "My Contacts" as Who can invite you to groups and channels
4th : Don't add any contacts. Just join your desired channel if you wish by getting their TG Profile link then Save.

Those invitations might be a part of bounty campaign or artificial growth of community to attract investors for selfish reasons. Leave those groups and report spam if you wish.

This is great, thank you for sharing. I get annoyed whenever i open my telegram I got tons of new groups that I am not aware of. I was looking for a way to block this kind of invitations.

I agree this is the best solution to protect your account from spambots. I also forbid anyone to invite me into groups. Basically, this is a service for promoting fraudulent projects. There are a lot of such services today. And whenever bots add users to their groups, you need to think that this is a fraudulent project.

[jakelyson]

There is nothing to be gained from doing it, just fake volume of members. I normally just report them as a scam and get out of it.

If not mistaken you can block invitation from people based on how you set your settings
I am now only invited if i join the group myself
Previously i am mass invited by random people who do bounty which they wanted to drag everyone in every group rofl

I never explore telegram that much, and I did not know there is a setting for this. Thanks for giving me a hint.

[puertorikosena]

Of course, a good project will not force anyone to invite into their communities. If the project is worth the attention, then the community itself will grow. In the telegram settings you can forbid inviting you to different communities.

[Wittny]

The best thing to do if such happens is to report them as scam and leave their scam group. No legit project will forcefully add anybody to their esteem group nor use bot to gather members.

Most time this is the work of bounty hunters, they add people without their consent just to fulfil some task given to them to earn bounty tokens it is not done directly by the project team also someone guys are paid to add people randomly from other crypto related group. Not all project that does this can be trusted but some of they can be after doing your own due diligence.

I must think there should be feature in telegram to accept or reject group by your own authority.

Forcefully invited really? Define what is it! isnt mean you add literally without your permission or consent? how is that possible when you are in control with your Telegram account. honestly im also recieving a lot telegram invite but they cannot force me either simply im just ignore them, they cant force you if you will not join thats the fact!

[maydna]

I don't believe with the automatic invitations in a telegram, and if I get invited without any notice, I will leave those groups and never join. It does not prove that the project will be a good project because they need to tell the public why their project is good and what benefits for people by using their project.

We can set our telegram profile so we don't have to join in one group without any notice so we can decide if we want to join in a telegram group. Maybe we will see a new feature in a telegram that will prevent us from joining in a group without we know so we don't have to feel difficult to delete one by one of the groups that we don't' want to join.

[ginobitcoiner]

if you are withdrawn or forcibly entered into one of the telegram groups without your will or you do not wish to enter the group, you can be sure that the project is unreliable and is likely only a hoax or a ponzi scheme.

You can leave it if you have big doubts, I think that's the way the scamer works to get the hunt they are after.
You can report it to the telegram so that the channel can be suspended.
be careful because in this industry it is still very vulnerable and very vulnerable in cases of scams

In addition to all you mentioned, report such group invite to telegram as spam. You can see the report button on the top right hand once the invite opens up. This forceful invite only spells trouble and doom. I nearly fell victim in 2018 to something I view as scam now - the group needed me to send my telegram registration code to redeem a certain amount of coins. I was on the process to sending it until something told me not to. I am sure my telegram handle would've been hijacked if I had sent it.

I have disabled the ability to invite me to group or my telegrams risk will turn into a cesspool...I think that most users have long done the same, but maybe beginners will find this information useful.

[Terrmit]

Yes scammers got it. I also came to this. I just can not then find the necessary information in the list. Krugob some bots that spoil our life.

[pushups44]

As others pointed out, you can go into your settings and strengthen your privacy so that random people cannot add you into groups. Sadly, Telegram has not made this a default setting, thus making the app a prime target for scammers.
