me and my friends went out hunting and reporting illegal betting and crypto scams on telegram. i had set my my phone number to not be visible to anyone. but when i tried to find the scammer’s name and phone no by his payment portal to report to police, he sent my actual number in dm and threatened to leak and blah blah. how can he even find my number is my question.

makes me really question how safe telegram is with its “privacy” and “anonymity”
