I turned off the possibility of adding me a year ago, when I noticed that I was subscribed to some strange groups.
I am glad that when complain about such a group many times, it will be blocked for spam, just like the one who invited
Topic: Telegram forced invite - page 3. (Read 515 times)
This also happen to me, i don't know why, maybe a group where i was send the username to another and they after use bots to get as much user they can, but i ussually put all this channels on mute and i don't have a problem with, i not have time now to check and to leave all this channels.
So I noticed I've been forcefully invited by bots into multiple telegram community which I never wanted to join.. and most of these communities are either ponzi schemes or from #icos which claim to be legit companies with one or two things to offer in the crypto space..
What can you say about this??
Can you really believe a good project with good concept would forcefully invite you into their community without any prior notice??
It was annoying sometimes hunters invite other hunter even if they didn't know them for the price or for the game in their telegram or sometimes it was part of their marketing,What can you say about this??

I also have the same problem and it is so annoying you would be added into tons of crypto related telegram that you didn't even join.
And whats worst is that you would have to unfollow them all and I couldn't really remember which one I need and which one did I really join and which one just spam me.
Agree it was definitely a waste of time unfollowing them all and report them I didn't need them thats why I didn't join then I will see that I was already added on their telegram this is not good at all it was kind of irritating. And whats worst is that you would have to unfollow them all and I couldn't really remember which one I need and which one did I really join and which one just spam me.
You got your answer from aervin11.
Now, for another tip. Those who are joining different group just for the purpose of posting their own ICO, put them already in doubt or better a blacklist.
Who would do that? That is being desperate. Which means a bad thing at the end.
This ICO's is already building a big scam even if they could just take thousands of dollars it will be worth it if they are just spending time and effort posting at different telegram group or forcefully inviting users.

It's useless if the one who invited you is your own friend. You might not be invited by a bot but by your friends. and you don't realize it. even though the settings have been changed from "everybody to only my contacts"
I think this happens to anyone who uses this telegram is inevitable, but all depends on your settings on the telegram you can also leave them. with that kind of thing allows a lot of fraud and you have to be careful with groups that invite you by force.

I also got experience this like when you open your telegram you will that you added from different group that you didn't know what their project is all about I think they are not bot they are humans that getting telegram username from different spreadsheet to add easily on the group that is part of their marketing so that many investors would be attracted because of many people joined in their telegram and thinking that the project is very interesting and they didn't know that they are just force to join in telegram.

Invitation without prior notice and done by bots? A BIG NO NO. To avoid those invitations to happen again, do this.
1st : Open your telegram account, go to settings
2nd : Go to Privacy and Security
3rd : Under Privacy, go to Groups then select "My Contacts" as Who can invite you to groups and channels
4th : Don't add any contacts. Just join your desired channel if you wish by getting their TG Profile link then Save.
Those invitations might be a part of bounty campaign or artificial growth of community to attract investors for selfish reasons. Leave those groups and report spam if you wish.
It’s really good information even I have been added for some groups without my notice . It’s really appreciable effort immediately I will do set up changes in my telegram. 1st : Open your telegram account, go to settings

I always checked the telegram group where I am a member and if I am not familiar on those group I just leave the group, many people are doing this, maybe they are being paid to do this, or maybe they are part of the team, but the one thing that we need to be very careful are those messaging us and telling us they are the admin of this ICO, they are scammers. What can you say about this??

I am also experiencing such which is very bad. It’s a bot activity that people use as business to populate ponzi and Ico groups just to make it appear that they have members already. What you can do is to set your privacy to allow only oone ur contacts to invite you to any group. This will stop the activity of any bot or stranger adding you to unwanted group.
yes, I know about this bot even majority of my telegram channel is that spam channel to 
the solution is you just set your privacy - " who can add me to group chats ? " to My contacts
the solution is you just set your privacy - " who can add me to group chats ? " to My contacts
this is often the case and I often experience something similar to you but I don't care, maybe it's their trap. As the number of airdrop and bounty hunters is used by irresponsible individuals to trick victims and enrich themselves. Don't let the bitcointalk member here become a victim. Open the official site and don't just click here and there, if you don't want to get caught in their trap. Usually unofficial sites look more attractive, so beware.
I experienced this situation too, you have to be careful, and don't be easily tempted by big profits. You better get out of the telegram group
Yes, unfortunately, this phenomenon has become more frequent, but I can assure you that I, too, are invited to many different projects about which I even have no idea that bots do everything, and I believe that it is necessary to fight.
As others pointed out, you can go into your settings and strengthen your privacy so that random people cannot add you into groups. Sadly, Telegram has not made this a default setting, thus making the app a prime target for scammers.
Yes scammers got it. I also came to this. I just can not then find the necessary information in the list. Krugob some bots that spoil our life.

In addition to all you mentioned, report such group invite to telegram as spam. You can see the report button on the top right hand once the invite opens up. This forceful invite only spells trouble and doom. I nearly fell victim in 2018 to something I view as scam now - the group needed me to send my telegram registration code to redeem a certain amount of coins. I was on the process to sending it until something told me not to. I am sure my telegram handle would've been hijacked if I had sent it.1st : Open your telegram account, go to settings
