Telegram allows fake support bots to operate, how can users get real help?

Anyone can make a bot on Telegram, so fake support bots are possible. But real Telegram support never messages users first or asks for codes, passwords, or money.

If a bot or user in private chats says they are "Telegram Support," it's almost always a scam.

In the Telegram app, users can get real help by going to Settings → Help → Ask a Question. This lets the official system connect them with verified volunteer helpers.

Also, for problems with spam limits, bans, or restrictions, you can use @SpamBot, which is Telegram's only officially documented automated help bot.
