Someone/b0t made an account with my phone number.
I have a sim card that I only use for internet.
The past few days I was getting texts from telegram saying your telegram verification code is x y z.
I ignored it thinking someone was putting my number in by mistake in trying to register an account.
My friend said to me this morning did you make a new TG. I said no why, then they said look.
Sure enough there was my number that I only use for internet with a TG account.
So I attempted to delete said account, went to register again and it said there is 2FA on this account and your only option is to reset it.
Which I selected and it said wait 7 days.
Account name was like keyboard mashing letters. Hhhjjsjsjsj etc. I've read similar stories on here.
Now I have noticed a pattern, I've received these verification texts on burner sims in different phones recently - I didnt care too much about it but the pattern is there.
Phones not connected to wifi. All using mobile data.
There is something seriously funky going on with security in TG.
Have screen shots to show if people are in doubt.
