Telegram is awful with spam. I'm constantly getting sent links to Telegram groups for Russian porn models who all pretend to be underage and spamming their Boosty links. I feel like it's probably part of some scam to bait people into buying something illegal and then blackmail them later. I don't keep it installed anymore because I don't need that sort of incriminating shit on my devices.
I'd delete my account, but I have a couple people who only use Telegram, but I'm getting close to cutting them off over it unless they switch to something else. I've reported this to Telegram numerous times, but these accounts keep popping up and keep managing to reach me.
Just change your privacy settings then.
It's either something about your phone number or your username. I've never had a problem on there
