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!

📰 TDesktop 5.16.4 has an annoying bug, 💻 the gist of it is that if you open a profile or chat with someone, they end up in 📖your stories bar — above the chat list. Even if that person is not your contact. This is reported in this issue on GitHub.

Restarting the client removes strangers from your stories bar, but the bug will continue to work.

😠 Spammers use this bug for their own gain — dubious relayers in promoting their miniapps, and commentators in their channels. Be careful.

📰 Fraud scheme through a bot. 👿 There have been increasing cases where attackers manage to delete victims' accounts by transferring ownership of bots.

Described scheme process:
1. Attackers create seemingly innocent bots.
2. A random victim starts this bot.
3. This step is enough for the attacker to transfer the ownership rights of this bot to the victim.
4. Through the API, setMyName, the attacker changes the bot's name to imitate Telegram support or a @wallet wallet.
5. The attacker mass-reports the bot, after which the bot is automatically deleted, and your account may be deleted for «fraud».

💡 Recommendations:
• Do not start unknown bots, even if you are persuaded or asked, or found them in search.
• Start @BotFather; it notifies you of new bots received in your hands.
• If such a bot is transferred to you, IMMEDIATELY delete it using the /deletebot command, select the specific bot, and confirm the action.
• If you see nothing wrong, you can simply reset the token (/revoke) and change the bot's name (/editbot).

🤖 @BotFather is now available as a Mini App, making it easier than ever to create and manage your bots
