If you know of other security measures?

Yes. Always when you use telegram, activate to show the user id. How? On Telegram desktop go to Settings - Advanced - Experimental features - activate "show peer IDs in profile"

This is an unique number foe each TG user. Like that you can identify the impersonators and also you could ban the scammers by ID.

Also fine tune your privacy settings

btw scammers stay away from me... barely the bother me. And if they contact me, first thing I just send them a LN invoice of 1M sats to pay, in order to talk with them. I know for sure they will never pay that invoice and just go away. Simple as that.

I've done this (reply with a LN invoice) also to my emails accounts. If some spammer is sending me an email, I just reply with a LN invoice. They never came back. Then my email server is putting them in a spam list and will automatically get a 5.5.0 NDR with the request to pay the invoice in order to remove them from spam list.

Scams and scammers will always be there because many people do not want to pay attention how to use properly all these tools / apps. Same happen with Bitcoin. People are lazy and do not learn how to use it properly.
