I don't think you need to report a channel for spam just because someone from it added you that is not fair. People are trying to grow their channel organically and want real user snot bots so they will invest you to their group. I have had good invites before from places you can learn how to profit from. For not assume everything is a scam. Just think about it. You know what is a scam and what is not.
If you have a channel then you don't have a choice. People are like that if not sure what it is and will result in reporting the channel as spam. Most likely things that channel  do is to provide real information and won't add any person randomly or we all that what will happen to the channel.

This is always happen to me when i always join in airdrop group on telegram. Everyweek some telegram users invite me in another another group. After i change my privacy setting and leave from that group. Now i never get invited in Telegram Groups.
Well, that was very easy to modify the settings on your telegram social media. I also encountered this before when I was a newbie but when I trying to explore how to set privately your settings that set into nobody's invite. Aside from that if the telegram group channel received so many times of spam reports they will block by the staff of telegram and even the creator/owner did not open anymore.

It can be avoided by just changing your privacy settings and anyone cannot contact or add you to a TG(Telegram Group). A lot of them are adding random people to their group which is "Pump and Dump scheme groups" and there is a lot of spammers and hackers in Telegram. Better to keep your personal information hidden in your profile and also the mobile phone number because some are in public.

And this kind of people are spreading throughout the social media apps because they know that some people are easy to manipulate or hack by just making a conversation with them.

That is what we need to do if someone added us to the telegram group automatically without giving any information to us. I always leave the group as soon as possible if someone who I don't know added me to their telegram group.
Yes, that is very simple and it doesn't take too much time for you. I had been always active in telegram and I know which group I willingly joined not just a random group. Just leave a hit the spam button before leaving they will never add you again. Once a group has been multiple reported as spam it might forcibly close by the telegram staff.

...

yes its easy, but i have heard that using proxies on telegram will do that, means the proxy owner can add you to any group/channel without you even notice that cuz they groups or channel will go down our list for few days and then will popup which may make you think you had joined yourself (if you are in many channels/groups)

this is what my friend told me whom was using proxy in russia for using telegram

Yes, we avoid such type of mistakes if we change our settings but always check the particular group where you have added by yourself or by someone. Sometimes some particular groups are very helpful while I was joining some bounty because all the members are active and help each other. So neither every group is scammed nor real. So do check if you joined by mistakenly.

This is not a big deal for me because I easily leave or set my telegram privacy like this.
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

I don't want to see that they can search for a way to trick me because I already have a bad experience with the telegram group.

We need to be aware of that so we can prevent scammers that want to trick us because they will find a new way to get the people's money. But if my friend has added me, perhaps I will stay for a while and read more announcements from the admin so I can decide to stay or leave the group.

few times I was added to such groups, and every time I press "leave and report spam" button/
i think this is best behaviour in such cases, also I hope that telegram support bans such channels

Correct because it's inappropriate to add us without our consent and it's so annoying to see those unwanted channel popped up if we do something important, Hit spam and leave is the proper  way to do for that matters so that there channel will be banned by telegram and those owners will learn there lesson about spam adding.

It's frustrating especially if telegram notification is activated that it keep buzzing just for a reason you'd been added without you even trying to join. Bounty spreadsheet s should hide or not required telegram usernames in their form to avoid these scenes scammer uses it to as if act that they're project have many followers. We should revenge by hitting spam,or even by messaging in their group that "how come I'm here" for them to be aware that their scheme is no longer working or convincing.

Hello,

I am an active telegram marketting service provider and I strongly do not suggest to use member adding services. If you add anyone in your group unwillingly, they either hit spam button or start sharing unrelated advertisements in the group. Very few of them asks what is the group about and the group gets banned because of people hitting spam buttun in a few days.

Also, If someone added you in a group chat, leave immediately. It is 99% scam. This is how people scam others. They usually showi some proof of payment with fake screenshots and giving false statements with a few other accounts they own. So simple. Noone will send you 10 ETH If you send 1 ETH? Why would anyone do that?! Dont be fooled by these people. Think it this way. If you find a service that doubles your crypto, would you tell it to everyone or would you use it to make you rich?

Repeating one last time, If you have been added in a group, hit the spam button and leave.

"There is another settings that you can also change in telegram. You can turn off the automatic media download. This could also help avoiding any malware that is sent using telegram. It's not just random telegram groups that will add you to the group without your consent or without knowing about it. Telegram can be use to spread any malware/virus to your device by sending you a pm with a file or clicking a link that a telegram user sent." quoted from Nakamura12
Before entering the crypro space its important that we know secimuritt measure like this even the smallest of thinga as long as it concerns security amd safety. Scams and fakes are already around then crypto space and they are waiting for their possible victims and newbies has the highest possibility to be theur victim because of their innocence and naiveness about things. As soon as you saw that you are added to groups, just report it and leave already, don't click any links and feed your curiousity for that might be a phishing just dressing as any link.

Telegram bans the channels if enough person hit spam. So, hit it! Smiley

I urge people to do the same so that all spam groups will go away.

Actually, They never end. Scammers just pay money to promoters to add new people in their groups, scam them for 10-20$ and create a new group with another scam project. Seems like an endless business but If we hit spam and leave, Telegram deletes the group and this way we can save some of the users.

I was added in an exchange group once. Everything seemed legit but why would a legit exchange add me in a group. I find out that scammer was copying an exsisting exchange and selling an eth contract he has created.
Spam, Leave. Hoping that noone has fallen for that but it was very realistic.

I've added it to the porn telegram group so that the account number used for my telegram is blocked and can't use telegram anymore, you can also prevent you from being added to the spam group by going to settings then privacy and security then select Groups and you can manage the invite setting group to My Contact

Yes , this could be a very big help to everyone,  but incase you did not knows this you may simply click "report as spam and leave" so that the channel you have been joined without your concern might be reported to telegram, if many people reported that channel it can be deleted. Some people are doing some trick I do not know how the only thing I know is they can add many people in that certain channel because some projects uses telegram with numerous member to show off to the investors that the channel are active and many supporters.

I'm doing all of these and not answering any pm coming from anonymous people specially when they say a simple hi and hello, they should introduce himself to me and I will talk to them if we have prior conversation here in Bitcointalk.
Telegram has been abused so many times because there are settings that favor scammers, I prefer reading all the update coming from coins I'm supporting than engaging in a conversation, specially if it is about investing, and signals.
