Telegram Website Scam....

Tread lightly when dealing with fellow SW users who propose further communications on the Telegram platform... Personal information harvesting, scammers, data capture, stolen identity, account duplication, phone/ family scams!! Most are based out of India, Russia, or Africa!!

Spread this in your SW groups....

Oh yeah...
When a someone you're chatting with asks you to go to another app to chat...BEWARE !
They are going to try and scam you of information like your phone number or last name or even a ctefit card number..
Just BLOCK THEM fast

Never give out any personal contact information to someone on here until you’ve known them for at least a year

On my main app which is a language practice one, I do not even open messages from those places.

Sometimes they whine about being discriminated against on the app but it is like this - their nations are the worst ones for scammers.

Of course some of them want to claim to be American even though their English sucks. 😄
Then they often are like, "Will you marry me?" Like WTF?

@CestManan English knowledge....

More insidious are posts that are written in slightly too-perfect English and somehow don't seem to ring quite true. Those could be professionally written by State agencies.

Telegram, wherever it is based, is not even moderated, and refuses to be.

Have you been scammed?

Telegram seems popular for that. Some scammers targeted my wife through that (and she's not a SWeep)
