Telegram scam​

Today I received a new scam on my phone:

"Telegram: Your account will be restricted due to illegal operations. Please handle it promptly" . . . followed by a link to click on.

I do not have a Telegram account. No identifying details were provided. This is yet another scam trying to lure people into revealing details that can be used by criminals to steal from them. Be aware. Use that "delete" button freely!

That's quite scary! Thank you so much for informing the members and us about this. It's comments like these that help fight against scammers, as we prevent others from falling victim to it.
