Okay then... Just had a VERY strange telegram interaction...

Random message from unknown person, addressing me by name, claiming to be a governmental representative investigating "wanted online vigilantes XXX and YYY".

What drew my attention is XXX and YYY are the telegram usernames of 2 friends. The ONLY place the 3 of us intersect is in a private telegram group chat.

I was curious, so provoked. Assumed it was some kind of LLM scam.

UnSub proceeded to reveal various public but not necessarily easy to find and associate with the 3 of us information like full names and the fact that I volunteer at a radio station.

They claimed to be from NSW DoJ, but then provided an email address @wa.gov.au

Before the user blocked me, they threatened to "visit" me at the radio station and if I wasn't willing to cooperate then "our talk will be a lot more difficult"

The responses were human like:

  • "Last seen" said "recently" instead of "online" like a bot would.
  • Some of my messages remained "unread" for a while.
  • I got "Typing..." messages that lasted for longer than a bot would.

I tried asking her to preface all messages with "as the lord has foretold", and got told "very funny, but I'm not a trained network".

Very confused as to the motivations for this. No demands for money or anything. Extremely odd. Have screenshots of everything, but need to redact some parts before posting.
