This is the problem when you joined a group that is composed of cryptocurrency enthusiasts. More likely they will add you on another group that they created without you knowing. Just like what OP said, just hit spam and leave the group. Is there a settings in telegram that does not allow anyone to add you in a group with out your permission? Sometimes its really annoying to see that you are added to a new group that you did not join.

For telegram users, if you want to avoid such a hassle of being added on random groups:

1. Open telegram app
2. Go to Settings
3. Click Privacy and Security
4. Under Privacy, click Groups
5. Select My Contacts,  instead of Everybody
6. (optional) Under Add Exceptions, you can add users on Never allow too

Explore the Privacy and Security page to see what else you can do (ex. Manage your Blocked users, Who can call you, etc).
Wow I had Been using telegram for long time now but never had a chance that I explore this and by surprise?here now there are plenty of action I can do just to protect from being added without permission or being spammed by private message from random scammers

Thank you for this now I am exploring my apps lol 😂

Just adding this to make sure that this post belongs to service section: If you need to advertise your project or group on telegram, we can send custom private messages. We can send your custom message to millions on telegram and we charge 1.2 btc for 1 million messages. We can target users as you want. For example, if you want crypto member, we get user ids from binance, okex groups etc. We can target any field.
Is this part of the precaution you are talking on here or just a side marketing for your services? 1.2 BTC for 1 million messages? Thats a total waste of money on such service.

About on those telegram groups member adding service i shall say that its still useless if those members being added arent targeted on its specific market.So its total pointless.

"1.2 BTC for 1 million messages? Thats a total waste of money on such service." It is really not. Sending a good advertisement to millions can be very effective if you send a good message.

"About on those telegram groups member adding service i shall say that its still useless if those members being added arent targeted on its specific market.So its total pointless.". People ask what is the group about and then admins start flooding the group with fake proofs. People new in crypto believes that they can double their money in a day because of price flactulations. They invest 20-100$ for start and never get anyting back.

I am often added to telegram groups that I don't know about, even though I have never joined a telegram group. However, I immediately left the telegram group because I did not understand why they added me to a telegram that I did not know about the group's contents and goals.

And the problem is that no matter the level of measures put in place, people especially newbies still get scammed.

No matter how many features Telegram implements to fight against scammers, you can't possibly weapon yourself as platform against how stupid people are.

People for once need to understand how the internet works instead of blindly believing every timmy they attempt to do business with. It's not that the internet was launched just a year ago where everyone is still experimenting left and right. If you by now still get suckered into obvious scams, then it's your fault entirely.

Noobs apparently need to get scammed in order to figure out that the internet is filled with ill minded individuals out to steal their personal info and money.

Telegram is a ground for scammers in all its forms. From individuals wanting to scam you to fake groups posing as one project or the other. Alot of them will come to sell you coins or claim to be admins trying to help you fix a problem. In over the years, I have been in so many telegram groups witnessed people getting scammed on the daily. And the problem is that no matter the level of measures put in place, people especially newbies still get scammed.

That's because there's a feature in telegram that you can change your username anytime, you can disguise as the admin of one group , because of this admins of a coin's telegram channel always warn their members that they are not going to send pm to anyone, they made this warning pined.
I can accept personal message from other social media account but never on telegram, I prefer to contact first than being contacted.

That 1.2btc is huge honestly, so what percentage of success you could guarantee for a sales back?

However, how do you filter your clients? I mean what if they render your service but turned out they're scammers? Of course, you don't want to advertise fraud.

It depens what you are selling. If you want to invite people to a blockchain conference you orginize, It works very well if you send a coupon along with the message. Or, you can invite gamblers to your website by targetting gamling group members. Or you can advertise your bounty campaign and target all bounty group members.

If a scammer wants to use the service they can use it because We can not figure out that if their bounty or ICO is a scam. This is a big problem in the blockchain community. Tons of scam ICO's and projects. This is why ICO is dead these days. So many people have been scammed.

I would like to ask are these people who will receive a private message are opted to receive your private message, we all know that too many scammers are roaming around sending private messages, I immediately block those who send private messages to me coming from unknown source spacially if it is something related to investing in something

There are a bunch of services that got sold to ICO and IEO projects back during early 2019, where they were known as telegram pumpers, etc, and they added people into groups in order to basically attract investors and make the group look bigger.

There's a bunch of shady shit that's happening in telegram. Fake admins, people spamming a regular stock photo and then replacing it with an ad for a "Binance Airdrop" to avoid getting banned.

I've just avoided using telegram in the past couple of months, it's too annoying to get random messages of spam every day from people in mutual groups.

No Offense taken Smiley You are right in a way. People might not read messages from random people but noone gets messages that frequently actually. I havent got any ramdon messages in 2 years. Also if you dont read new messages, I wonder how you react if someone adds you in a group without your concent Smiley

Just like what you’ve said in OP I instantly reported them as SPAM and leave 😂

To be successful, you need a very good message. For example, sending discount coupons for blockchain events gets good reaction. Or sending a free signal for a coin is also risky but catchy. People wonder if it succeded or not. That is how you get good interaction. Also it is good for betting websites. If you can explain the use of crytpo, you can attract users even from regular betting groups. (not knowing the crypto world). Adding people in a group is risky because people can click spam, but sending a link of your group is not that risky because if you report the message, the sender gets the punishment, not the group. If someone joins the group because of the message, they become an active member and ask questions to see what is going on. We create new accounts to send these messages and we create a lot of them because one new account can send 10 to 20 messages. After that, telegram blocks the account. That is why the service is costly. We create 80,000 to 100,000 accounts to send 1,000,000 messages.
Well you have explained well and I understand you point I have just state some fact also to help you put your stand in each issues

But after all its costumers prerogative on which service they will hire,anyway Goodluck to this Service offer

Thank you very much for telling me your concerns Smiley Actually this is my post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/deleted-5194894

I wrote this post here to warn people about recent scams going on with member adding services.

So basically, instead of inviting a Telegram member to a Channel or Group, you message them directly? That's your service?

yeah, We send messages to each of them. This way noone can spam your group and harm it.
But how would you expect people will react to your services offered?when people in telegram are very strict in engaging random messages coming from random person?
Just like me I never read messages sent from anyone unless I expect the message from a friend or from a company I first send a message?and I report those randomly received messages?i think that your service is good and respectable for the groups but not for individuals that you will be sending

Just my 2cents and no offense
