I've been receiving a lot of telegram messages lately inviting me to try a certain website or join their group for this and that. There's even one that offers investment with high profits. I block and report them all.
I don't know if you are receiving similar messages but if you did, you can do the same as I did. Do not bother clicking any of those links sent to you because they are most likely phishing links or Ponzi schemes.
Certainly yes, I also encountered the same thing as your dude. Just like you did, I immediately report and block them as well. Because I knew most of them who are sending you a message on your inbox are surely have a hidden agenda where once you reply to their message you are considered as one of their primary targets, so better ignore them and report at once, that's it.
