How to take down a Telegram channel, route by route
The official route for each violation — an in-app report, [email protected] or a DMCA notice — the evidence each needs, honest timelines, and how to vet a takedown service.

We file six core violation types through Telegram's official routes. Every case is screened for a genuine Terms of Service or Community Guidelines breach first — we never report a legitimate channel or account.
We report channels running financial cons on Telegram, mapped to the Community Guidelines and Terms of Service rules against fraud and deceptive activity.
We get channels, groups and accounts posing as you, your project or a brand's real support reported under Telegram's rules on impersonation and deceptive identity.
We report bots and links built to steal credentials, seed phrases or login codes, which breach Telegram's rules on harmful and deceptive content.
We report groups built by non-consensual mass-adding and accounts blasting automated spam, which breach Telegram's rules against spam and group-add abuse.
We report storefront channels selling counterfeits, stolen data or other unlawful goods, mapped to the Community Guidelines ban on illegal sales.
We report clusters of linked channels and back-up clones working together, mapped to Telegram's rules on coordinated and automated abuse.
Before anything is filed, every request is screened against the same three tests — so only genuine, reportable breaches reach Telegram, and a legitimate channel never does.
Detailed, Telegram-specific walkthroughs are published here as we cover each violation type.
