If you were scammed by a fake Telegram group, the first thing you should do is report the group in the Telegram app itself.
Click on the name of the group, then tap the three dots, which means "More." Then, select "Report."
Choose "Scam" or "Fraud" as the reason and give Telegram any information they need to take action against the group.
Also, get all the proof you can about the scam, like screenshots of chats, transaction information, and any messages you sent to the scammers.
You can email [email protected] or use the app to get in touch with Telegram Support by going to Settings > Help > Ask a Question. Help the investigation by giving a clear and thorough account of what happened.
