😨 Most users are probably already aware of the new gift scam involving business bots.
You receive what looks like a gift offer in your private messages, but it appears as a regular message rather than an service message. Don't take any action or tap buttons sent to you by other users. A real gift offer is a service message and looks different.
In the latest stable update Telegram for iOS v13.1.1, this issue with fake offers has been largely addressed. Now, if someone sends you the first message through a business bot, the buttons won't appear immediately. You'll need to send any message to that user before the buttons become visible.
In previous versions, these buttons were always displayed.
