Any link in telegram are have a high risk for me, not all but many, cause we all know that telegram is one of house of scammer a lot of people sending suspicious links in order to catch your attention. Also like you mate it's better to download the application of open the link if that link are given by the site not from telegram or anywhere. Its better to be secure because it will make us victorious.
Do not download application files other than from the official website, many spammer groups of telegram add many people randomly to deceive everyone, there is a possibility that if you follow spammer groups, they will upload malicious application files and they spread phishing to get important information from you, so be careful to trust information not from official groups.
Now all the users are very smart and everyone always look for the official application for their security. And along with this, hackers have also become very smart. So they are now using some secret tricks instead of following these simple steps to continue their hacking career. Still everyone should exercise some caution while installing applications. And it's always a good idea to check if the app is official or not
Yes most of the spamming and scamming happens on Telegram which is why professional projects don't have their groups or channels on Telegram now everyone is moving to Discord. So it is safe not to enter any application or any other link using any link from Telegram group because sometimes phishing links are also promoted through Telegram. So it is always wise to enter any link or download any application from an official website. Be it a casino application or any other application
Right, Telegram's security system is still very weak due to which scammers can easily scam on Telegram. But that's not easy to do in Discord. Because in order to talk to someone in Discord, he must first send a friend request, and if that user does not accept his friend request, then there is no way to chat with him personally. This is an great aspect of Discord. And Discord is active enough to filter scams. Because of this I don't use Telegram now
