BEWARE: do NOT add random Telegram bots to your groups!!!

Some bots copy the phone numbers of the users and add them to spam lists. So do not get surprised if you get spam messages in your telegram from Russian phone numbers offering fake glasses or home made soda (yeah that happened to me!)

This stuff just started -- no one is controlling it. I have no idea how to report this. Blocking offenders doesn't do any good after your number is on spam list. Hopefully, they do something about it.

Hi, why did you choose a Telegram bot and not other popular chat platforms?

Hi Smirnoff, Telegram bots are designed to run within a limited environment.

Bots do not get access to phone number or anything such. Read more here -->

It is so terrible that all these services use phone numbers for ID. Couldn't they do some UUIDish thing instead?

Hi codewithcheese, Telegram is known for it's security, so we started our first build on it.

Hi anc84, exactly it uses the UUIDish thing, not the other way around :)
