I thought that the face and case rang a bell ... @ Coolcryptovator created a similar thread a couple of weeks ago: How Effective Telegram SCAM report ?

Not sure how long this feature has existed for, but certainly a long functionally delayed one. At least I don’t recall seeing that feature during the ICO hype where telegram was a main exponent to many scams.

I have merited it because this I stumble this feature because of this thread, I'm glad that we have one right now, I am not aware of its existence when so many scam ICO is ruling it in the telegram channel, Telegram become their hubs to update on how they are scamming people, now I can report all these scams and bounty cheaters

This is my first time seeing that link. Has Telegram made an announcement about that? Since when it's available?

I tried to search it on google but no result satisfies me. Looks like some website also suggests to use that, but it's a bit weird as there's a report button.

This surely look like a recently add features on telegram, and can come up as a good warning message under proven scam projects around. It is surely a late implementation as it was more need at the time of BTC hype but is an exciting decision by telegram.

It's in telegram's FAQ

Q: There's illegal content on Telegram. How do I take it down?
All Telegram chats and group chats are private amongst their participants. We do not process any requests related to them.

But sticker sets, channels, and bots on Telegram are publicly available. If you find sticker sets or bots on Telegram that you think are illegal, please ping us at abuse@telegram.org.

You can also use the ‘report’ buttons right inside our apps, see this post on our official @ISISwatch channel for details.

Note: If a scammer is pretending to be you, contact @NoToScam

Q: What do I do if my username is taken?
Telegram usernames are distributed on a first come — first serve basis.

We understand that certain usernames are part of an online identity for some of us. If your desired username is already taken, we will be happy to help you acquire it for your account or channel, provided that you have that same username on at least two of these services: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.

Due to the fact that one account can register multiple bot and channel usernames, we reserve the right to recall usernames assigned to unused bots and channels, as well as openly squatted usernames.

To request a username, contact @Username_bot.

Q: What if someone is pretending to be me?
If a scammer is pretending to be you, please contact @NoToScam.

Has anyone tried this tool? How was the response speed of the support? What evidence can be considered reliable?
It is a good effort by them to help get rid of scam, but I think it will take about a week or more to respond and verify all requests and thus scammers will have enough time to deceive others.

I hope they rely on third parties to accelerate the response speed and thus more effective.

Screenshots or maybe archived conversations will do.

It's probably going to take a lot of reports before they start tagging an account as scam. The more reports, the faster they act.

Here's what appears to the scammers profile according to another post:

If you have a proof that some scammer tried to scam you, don't let them get away! Write to @notoscam and provide them all the evidences. Then the scammer's account(s) will be marked with a "SCAM" sign, and the profile biography will be: ⚠️ Warning: Many users reported this account as a scam. Please be careful, especially if it asks you for money.

Glad they did this, Telegram has now become a spam fest and new ICO are now targeting this messaging tool, but it's so easy to create a telegram account or channel all you need is a new phone number and you have a new account as replacement for the tagged one, this will  lessen scammers, but there will be persistent one.
