My name is Salih T**, and I have been unable to access my Telegram account, which I have used for a long time, for approximately 20 days. Even though the account is registered to my phone number, it has been taken over by a foreign woman whom I do not know at all. Today, when I checked my Telegram profile, I noticed that my profile photo had been replaced with this unknown woman’s photo, and from that moment on, I became completely unable to log into my account.

The phone number registered to my Telegram account is still active, registered in my name, and used only by me. In addition, the email address linked to the account also belongs to me, and I can provide this information to prove that I am the rightful owner of the account. Despite this, my account is currently entirely outside of my control.

I request that Telegram immediately and permanently remove access from the person who took over my account without authorization and restore the account so that it is accessible only to me. For my personal security and privacy, I ask that this situation be reviewed urgently and that I be contacted with a resolution.
