Adding telegram member without permission.

[ScamViruS]

Scamming people on the telegram is the most popular in crypto. Some service providers add members to the scam groups without permission of the users. These service providers work to add members to all scam groups, including the fake giveaway group, Scam ico group etc.

I spoke against a service provider. He gave me feedback. I'm surprised by his feedback! Not only me. He gives feedback to those who have said against him. I think we should do something against this type of service providers. I think he should be tagged.

I kinda doubt people would do much about it, I tried notifying to telegram not sure how useful that can be (in old experiences).
I also tagged the profile you posted, there's a ton of such sites telegram/discord/slack groups and others and it quite hard to deal with them.

PD: it lovely when a scammer gets a copper membership and you get to rend it worthless with a trust rating, lol.

You can block people from adding you on random Telegram groups by going to Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Groups & channels -> My contacts.

Now only your contacts can add you to groups.

Agree on your installation, it is very helpful  
But I want to talk a little about this guy's service. It is a service that operates without consent from the people affected, or in other words, they are forced. I believe not everyone knows about such settings. I have been added to groups that I did not want   And when I talked about it in his topic, he gave me a ridiculous negative trust

I'm not exactly sure about tagging. Other than the claim that he is a telegram developer, there is no concrete proof yet that what he is offering is a scam service. Telegram has tagged some accounts before so perhaps we can also report this @daviddeav account to @notoscam and see what happens. I just did.

Any services in the telegram that adds you to a group without your consent should be tagged I was ok but then but those who buy this kind of service are involved in a shady business I was added in a porn site and other scam airdrops without my knowledge, from then on I started blocking and reporting these channels.

Yeah Telegram is regularly tagging accounts after they get enough reports, but that doesn't help much as those offering shady services can make new account easily. Telegram is basically cesspool. Those that actually hire kind of services that invite people to groups without asking often get their group banned, again if enough people report that kind of behavior.
In my opinion, that option to disable people to invite you  into some random group should be set as default, as many Telegram users don't know that there is an option to do that.

I think speaking out with what you think about is okay because we are in a discussion forum but giving feedback just because of that a negative/not agreeing to the point of view of the poster is kind of out of line. You won't have to worry much because you will not be affected by that rating because the user that gave you the feedback has no impact. It still says 0 on your profile.

Tagging, for me, without actual proof of scamming by the provider is quite technical. Maybe you could untrust him in your trust list.

Maybe if he accepts a service that is for scamming and he is the one who provided members, that could be a reason to give a negative tag.

I don't think its something to leave negative feedback's. The worst spam ever on telegram is adding members without permission. I have seen such as selling thread on service section but nobody tagged for this. So I will not bother to leave feedback as well. But OP shouldn't worry because that user isn't on DT network. If incase he/she become DT then likely he/she will excluded by DT1 members. Because I believe such service providers should not be DT network. For that spam reason I have reset my privacy settings, so no one able to add now if they are not on my contact list.

I gave up using telegram because of very these reasons. It is impossible to speak with anyone or do anything; you will wake up randomly in a group or chat and you'll get spammed. Each time I was up to help someone I received a scam attempt.

I strongly recommend staying out of deals from this forum or try to used good 3rd parties websites like localcryptos.com (ex localethereum). I have learned so many with these scams, people get inventive, create usernames of specific people, create pishing websites, or mirrors.

Maybe when Telegram will move on the TON network, is it going to be better? We will be able to verify identities of everyone and maybe avoid being contacted by random people.
