Phishing attack on Telegram users
Last days, fraud has intensified under the guise of service notifications from Telegram about account deletion.
Messages come from fake accounts, but similar to real ones. Only these do not have a phone number, an official checkmark and a signature “service notices”.
The message indicates that there is a problem with the user’s account and it will be deleted within 24 hours. And along with this, all correspondence and the list of contacts will be lost forever.
In the text, it is recommended to go to a fake telegram support page to confirm the ownership of the account. Of course, you should not do this.
For persuasiveness, the message contains a link to the official page “Telegram Privacy Policy”.
Although the fake site has a different official URL and no security certificate, some users may still be deceived.
