👑 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. 🪿 - @Durov
