Proceed cautiously when a call asks for a Telegram verification code or pretends to be someone you know. The pattern of impersonating a contact and demanding a one‑time code is a classic social engineering trick that aims to hijack accounts. Hang up immediately, never share codes, and verify any request through an official channel. Block the number and report it to your carrier or a consumer‑protection agency. Keep a log of the call details in case further action is needed. Consider enabling two‑factor authentication that does not rely on SMS or messaging apps to reduce exposure.
