Hmm that's how Telegram is full of scams, I myself often receive vague spam messages from someone who blue tick offers casino games with their affiliate links, there are also those who send out Casino phishing links.
All kinds of crypto scams are there, the main thing is not to be tempted by unclear profits, especially if you just sit back and ask to pay this is definitely a fraudulent trick they do.
There was a time when I used Telegram a lot, but gradually Telegram has become a source of annoyance for me, and one reason I would like to highlight here is the regular messaging of scammers, sometimes they will message me as a client, sometimes as an ambassador of a gambling site. Then they will ask you to deposit money on a phishing link and after making the deposit, they will disappear.
In my case, I have never fallen into their trap, but after blocking one, they start sending messages to another the next day. So now I have even disabled Telegram notifications on my phone.

One just needs to be extra careful and vigilant on telegram platform because scammers are very much active there. Since it supports anonymous identify,  one can hide behind the mask to do whatever they feel like and go their way. 
Since the inception of the telegram platform, there has been lot's of reported scam cases with people losing funds to scammers who lured them onto investing in projects and things they never thought of. Some of them come with gambling formats just ask you have said which I can attest that I too have had the experience in the past. But we can avoid such if we get information and be updated with happenings around the industry as that would keep us safe from their nefarious activities.

I don't know if i will say the use of telegram and other social media related apps are like a room for scamming activities,  many that have been scammed all started from one social media apps to the other and cannot be easy to control because of the high importance.
Its unfair why telegram that was build for communication has now turned to a home of sorrow to many, every day different scamming formats are introduced on telegram making it difficult for people to understand.
To be on a save side now, i think it will be nice avoiding most encouraging advertisements that appears with promising formats because we can't tell among all that is real or false

I don’t know maybe am the only person that tags any random person that message me on any social media as scammer. I don’t use my social media for any business or anything special, so I see no reason why anyone will even Dm on any social media. The most annoying social media is telegram, I receive messages almost everyday from random people, and all of them turn out to be scammer, I don’t even know where they getting my username from, but it’s really annoying.

Newbies are not just suppose to trust anyone that send them Dm on social media, they just have to be so careful, and turn down anyone that messages them about any investment strategy.

There are scammers, and that's something we must all be aware of, but on Telegram it gets crazy because of how they operate. But a large reason for anyone to be scammed depends on how you treat every offer thrown at your face, because if it's a scam, you will definitely feel it because it's always too good to be true, but due to greed sometimes we fall victim to even the easiest of scams on social media platforms or any platforms at all.
