Topic: How secure are you when unknown user chats you up? - page 4. (Read 870 times)
I'm well secured. First, my phone number is hidden so that no one can see it. I don't reply PMs to strangers, as they come I block and report the person. Sometime, you can just drop a message on the group requesting for help or guidance on a particular issue. Before you know it, a scammer would send you an unsolicited PM claiming to be an admin of the group and wanting to dope you by sending you a cloned website, fake wallet address, fake contract address, phishing links etc.
You're online secure if someone should PM you on the forum or somewhere on other platforms aside this one and you either remain mute about it without giving any response or view it and never give out any vital information about yourself or keys to your wallet in other for them not to gain an entry point, some generate a random set of numbers and message them, but not everything you received you must react to.
I'm the type of guy who talks to them until they run out of words, then tells them to fck off and blocks them.
I think I'm almost exactly like you, mate. 
I realized that starting a conversation like that was a waste of time because in the end we know what the motives were. But in a way, it's okay to serve with them for a while just for fun purposes. I realized no pretty woman would approach someone first without motive behind it, so in conclusion block them and tell them to leave.
Asians have strict rules, and from my experience, one thing women will never do is approach a man first; forget what you see in movies; it never happens in real life lol. When I see such chat, I laugh and give the scammer the attention he deserves.
I have no such time to exchange with what i know too well won't benefits me instead of wasting my time paying nonsense attention to them. I know there is a sense out of nonsense but no all is good to pay any at all, rather i would use such time to start reading bunch of post here that would benefits me and increased my knowledge. Keep following up kudos sir!
Sometimes it's good to feed the trolls
Yeah.. that's cool for someone who is less busy maybe wanting to find out the main objective of that user and also to know their tricks to be extremely cautious next time if such chat happens to appear without her given out her contact details. Thought you are absolutely correct just toiling with him would be the best.
Please I would love to get your reasoning concerning his or her actions.
if you do have a business that publishes your telegram. or are in a certain trade group, indeed usually there will be a telegram account with a sexy girl profile sending you messages to talk about business.I also got several such messages in my telegram account, and I never responded to them. because I never contacted them. most of the accounts talk about trading and investing. that must be because I follow several channels and trading groups. maybe you too.
when they are serious about doing business with you, I'm sure they won't come to your telegram.

This would be surprising to me, but other than that, my next action would be blacklisting the user.
Even if you want to sell or buy something, the conversation should always stay on topic. If you notice deviations from the topic, it indicates that something is wrong with the interlocutor.
Scammers catch naive people talking, but it's already 2023; it's rather strange to talk to strangers. Time ICQ has long passed.

Isn't that why they always choose a random beautiful Korean girl to possibly prolong the discussion and most times stay off topic in order to gain more attention? It's easier for a woman to end such conversation and move on, but trust me some men are moved by what they see and whether you like it or not, there are tons of men who fall for this cheap girls carp on TG.
There are still many men who send nudes to random strangers online; they are the type who are easily duped by this type of scam. This type of scam is common on TG, and I'm sure it pays, which is why it's still around.

I think they want to know your country of residence so they can tell you they are from the same country and they live in the next city, I think that’s their strategy to build trust with their targets. At first they act as if they are genuinely interested in getting to know you, once they think they have you on the hook they start talking about a profitable investments they have going. Entertaining these scammers is a waste of time, just click the block button and be done with it.

it doesn't really look like its a scammer but if he waste his time with the chatter, he will find out whats its is up to.
seem nothing to worry. OP gives so much worries to this when he can just stop replying to that chat and even block the user. a girl named Sai looks beauty anyone would agree to that. unless OP is waiting for the intimate conversation and probably a phone sex after it, i can understand he wants to chat as well.
You didn't mention specific location so no worries. Almost every time I receive a message, Telegram users are very interested in knowing which country I live in now. Actually these are fraudsters they use different fake names and profile pictures to lure others and try to scam them in different ways. So after receiving such questions on Telegram it is safe to block them without continuing the conversation.
I'm not sure why you'd try to take the time to reply to few messages with someone you suspect might be. If I were you, I would block that user from the first message, no matter how pretty they look.
Then one other question, What does this thread have to do with reputation, does the user you spoke to on telegram have an account on bitcointalk and is trying to scam you or something? If this thread make for warning for attempted fraud unrelated to bitcointalk, then I hope you can move it to Begginers and Help or to the appropriate board.

I personally don't give opportunities to scammers who want to chat with me privately, I don't give opportunities and blocking their channels is my main goal.But I don't block them right away, I will let them continue chatting and see where the chat progresses, if the chat goes off scale and leads to suspicious actions, of course the block button is my main target, but if users I don't know want to chat and ask good things, that's certainly not a reason for me to block them.
But if they are really scammers, I also don't let them continue chatting with me. they had little trouble talking to me, what more purpose to cheat.
When its someone who knows you like a friend online or personally knows you, they will immediately say something for the conversation to start and not just saying Hi hello.
Ignore them and that''s how to secure yourself. If you see someone just saying Hi and hello, that is someone who wants to waste time. A person who has a purpose of chatting you will immediately pitch what they are offering and then you can immediately say no. End of story.
Since I first open an account on Telegram I received almost more than 30 messages that are similar to what you posted, they may look very friendly to you but it's a big modus to gain your trust they will not tell you right away but they want you to be convenient after a few hours of convenient talk when you are comfortable with him/her they started talking about sites or platform that where they made a huge profit, even to the extent of showing his account and earnings, this is their way to entice you to invest.
If you are not aware of this scheme you will likely fall, I have Bitcointalk to thank for exposing this telegram schemes
My advice shut off all communications from unknown people on Telegram, telegram is not a good place to make friends you have no idea what his intention is, and Telegram is not a dating place, it's a platform for people with similar interests.

Perhaps the user is feeling lonely in a new country and needs a local as a penpal.
Jokes aside, could he have located you by searching your Telegram handle which might be the same as your username here?

My answer to him was based on his questions so I was wanting to know his motives if he noticed I told him I am from his country. But No! I am not his country because I wasn't secure enough to tell him my location that's was why I responded him that way.
Heres some precautions you could probably use to give further assurance of your data safety in the future:
That account will go straight to block and report if they chatted me, I won't even bother replied them, done that numerous times.
- Have a separate crypto TG --and social media-- from your personal life
- Check the username of anyone chatting you privately out of nowhere
- If there were none, it might be better for you to probably just ignore them straight away
- If they have a username, search that TG handlers here on the forum, either by search feature or through ninjastic, the result would pretty much give you a good idea of how trustworthy the person is
- A little bit no-brainer but... don't share your personal ID to anyone, unless you really trust them

There is no security risk at the point of you receiving an unsolicited PM, i don't think there's any user who hasn't received such before, what matters is how you handle it or if you have the already existing knowledge about the modus operandi of scammers. I discovered that Bitcointalk forum users know how to detect and evade scam pretty easily because of the knowledge we garner here, but you'd be surprised at the number of people who fall for all this, or who don't know that if something is too good to be true, then it's prolly a scam.
Having said that, as long as you don't click random links from strangers, send them money, invest in whatever they offer or even continue a conversation with them, then you can't be scammed.
