Telegram and X are breeding grounds for scammers. Be careful 🛠️

According to PANews, Telegram founder Pavel Durov recently highlighted the surge in prices for rare usernames, digital IDs, and gifts, which have exceeded $100,000. This increase has led to criminal activities where individuals resort to extortion and threats to seize user assets. Some channels have even engaged in defamation followed by charging fees to remove posts as a means of profit. Durov emphasized that such actions are "illegal and unethical," and stated that Telegram is committed to eliminating these perpetrators. He urged victims to report incidents privately and provide evidence.
