📰 Telegram denies unwillingness to cooperate with local authorities and is surprised by this blocking, publishing the comment below.

Telegram is surprised by these statements. We consistently respond to legitimate requests from Nepal. Telegram actively moderates harmful content on its platform and removes fraud and money laundering whenever detected.

👑 Rare Telegram gifts, numbers, and usernames — once bought for just a few dollars — can now sell for over $100,000. But this surge in value has a dark side. 🤦‍♂️

⚠️ We’re seeing scammers blackmail users, trying to force them into handing over these valuable collectibles. There are also reports of channels extorting money by threatening to leak personal information or sensitive data. Some have even turned this into a business model — publishing damaging posts and charging for their removal. 💰

✋ This is both illegal and immoral, and it won’t fly with us. 🪰

🤙 If you’ve been threatened or blackmailed by scammers or channels, please report it immediately. Send me a private message in this channel with as much proof as possible. We’ll remove these bad actors from our platform and keep Telegram a safe place for everyone. 🪿

💡 If you can’t contact me directly due to the paywall, feel free to reach out to our support team at @notoscam to report any blackmailing attempts. Include the hashtag #blackmail in your message so it reaches the right team member. 📞

🫡 Unfortunately, I can’t remove the paywall from my account — when I do, I receive thousands of messages per minute, making it impossible to read or respond to anyone. 🛡

Premium Gifts ⭐

Telegram has released a new type of #gift on its test server — limited edition gifts that can only be purchased by Telegram #Premium users. According to sources, each user can currently buy up to 5 gifts, though this limit may change in the future.

📰 Now, in order to enable the function of displaying sensitive posts, you need to verify your identity by scanning your face to confirm that you are 18 years or older. Previously, this required activating the corresponding setting in the security settings, but in the Desktop or Web version.

😦 The innovation is related to a law from the UK, which will come into force soon. It obliges sites and applications to check users who want to access porn content.
🥺 We hope that it will only apply to users whose UK numbers (+44) are linked to their accounts.

🇺🇸 TON Wallet Now Available to U.S. Users

Telegram has officially made its built-in #TON Wallet available to users in the United States. The rollout follows previous restrictions that excluded U.S. users during the initial global launch.
The TON #Wallet is a self-custodial crypto wallet integrated directly into Telegram, allowing users to send and receive Toncoin, USDT, and other assets with no transaction fees. It also offers access to DeFi tools, staking, and tokenized assets—all within the Telegram interface.
Users in the U.S. can activate the wallet by navigating to Settings → Wallet in the Telegram app or by messaging @wallet.
This marks a major step in expanding Telegram’s #Web3 ecosystem to a broader audience.

⚠️ Dear subscribers,

Please don’t fall for cheap tricks. There's been a rise in NFT-related #scams on Telegram lately. If anyone messages you asking to connect certain apps, don’t fall for it , it’s clearly a scam.

Never connect your wallet to unknown sources just for the sake of giveaways or so-called "free" #gifts. Remember, nothing is truly free.

Also, some channels are using unhealthy giveaway methods to collect user data or trick people into spending money. Think carefully before participating — if you're not comfortable with it, don't spend your money.

Here are some safe ways to buy and sell Telegram #NFTs:

1. Buy directly from Telegram: Go to ⚙Settings > 🎁 Buy a Gift. Drops appear randomly, check often and buy when available. You can later upgrade them to NFTs when the option is available.

2. Use Telegram’s built-in buy/sell option: You can trade NFTs securely within the app.

⚙Settings : 🎁Buy a gift : Resale

3. Visit Fragment: A trusted and official platform for buying and selling Telegram collectibles.

4. Use third-party platforms like @Portals/@Tonnel_Network_bot : Reputable web apps can also be used, but make sure they are trustworthy and secure.

Stay smart and stay safe! 🤝

📰 Important Update Regarding Telegram Gifts

Lately, there have been frequent abuses of a bug involving gifts being sold inside Telegram for 125 stars. 👛

Here’s how the scam works:

• When you try to buy a gift, a pop-up appears saying the price has changed or you’re redirected when opening the gift info.

• Attackers use the "Name" field of their profile to lure users to private channels, where they offer the same gift for 125 stars.

• These channels provide instructions that require you to connect business bots to complete the purchase.

⚠️ This is a scam exploiting a known bug that has existed since this feature was introduced.

🚫 NEVER connect unknown business bots to your account.
Some Telegram clients automatically grant permissions to bots when connected. This allows attackers to remotely control your gifts and even transfer them out of your account.

🔒 Stay safe:

• Don’t trust gift offers from unofficial or private channels.

• Never connect your account to bots you don’t fully trust.

• Report any suspicious posts or scammers immediately.

Stay alert and protect your account!
