I don't know guys - it's better to ask TG about it. I may suggest they started banning accounts.

[MAVProxyUser]

Yeah... you probably should put a HUGE warning in the README. I used your tool for literally 20 seconds, and now I don't get to use Telegram any more. I'm not the only one.

[IvanGlinkin]

May I ask what kind of number did you use? As I can see on the other repository's issue - https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon/issues/297 - TG bans only VOIP/virtual numbers and almost never physical ones. Thanks

[MAVProxyUser]

My personal physical number

[IvanGlinkin]

My personal physical number

sorry to hear that, man. but yeah, will update README definitely

[levensonblaine]

My personal physical number

sorry to hear that, man. but yeah, will update README definitely

try to use this bug https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon/issues/4051#issuecomment-1491747149 to avoid bans, my accouns live longer after this

[IvanGlinkin]

Just to make it clear. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

1. Telegram has a feature to find people nearby - https://telegram.org/faq#q-what-is-people-nearby
2. Telegram has an official API to use this feature - https://core.telegram.org/api/nearby
3. You are starting using TG's feature as it's intended
4. You got Banned Did I miss anything?

Also. Just several rhetorical questions:

1. If the official web-site says about 800 meters, why my phone showing 500 meters?
2. if it's not accurate, why i found myself 100-150 meters away from the actual location?
3. if it's only local search, how was I able to find people in the different countries?

Maybe its unrelated, but when i used telethon before, telegram always logged me out from all devices. No matter what script did (i was just sending automated messages to bot), even with this params. So its most probably impossible to use telethon without risk of ban.

Not only that, after logging in, all my messages that I send in 24 hours were deleted for everyone! Even messages that i sent manually. And with some chance, new messages just after loggin in are also being auto deleted for everyone.

Imagine how you would explain this to people that thought you got hacked by phishing :)

Maybe I'm very lucky that it just logged me out, not banned... Maybe its because of premium... We will never know this.

[killer010599124]

I tried your code with several TG account. But all account was deleted. I used usa physical phone number in USA. I am not sure what is wrong.

[levensonblaine]

I used usa physical phone number in russia.

It’s your solving :) You have to use your country numbers or proxy

[killer010599124]

one question,,, did you sccuess in this code?

[MAVProxyUser]

[killer010599124]

?

[MAVProxyUser]

It will ban you with a 100% legit phone number in your own country too...

[killer010599124]

thanks.. what is solution?

[IvanGlinkin]

one of the possible solution, as i can see: nevertheless, TG allows you to check other countries for at least 1-2 attempts. hence, need to try to increase delay between queries by 1 minute or even 2.

[killer010599124]

don't understand well what is queries time?

[IvanGlinkin]

don't understand well what is queries time?

The time between queries. By default it's 30 seconds. Try to increase it like this:

[killer010599124]

this code is working fine in your side?

[killer010599124]

what's your email? can we have direct chat?

[IvanGlinkin]

this code is working fine in your side?

so far yes. i set 61 seconds between queries, TG disconnected me, I logged in once again with an email and right now it's harvesting

UPD: 25 queries just finished - everything worked fine with 61 seconds/request

[MAVProxyUser]

you should consider increasing the default to something longer, and instructing users that feel safe to decrease it. That way more people don't wind up on this post.... with a banned account. Seems like a better default would be responsible

You know, that could be a race between us and TG - we are increasing the time to avoid banning - they set another bottom line... repeat :) at the end - they will remove that feature and set it up as a bug (if it ever happen). but they can't set a huge time as it will brake the "find people nearby" feature Regarding banning - what are you suggested to do?

https://github.com/wiz0u/WTelegramClient/blob/master/FAQ.md#prevent-ban

from what I understand all accounts issued an API key are placed under immediate scrutiny. New or reused phone numbers even more. The current construction of the tool basically floods the TG API with repetitive requests at a constant interval. This type of behavior is incredibly detectable and conspicuous. CCTV is very public so it is likely telegram devs are monitoring the exploit as we speak.

You could try to send requests at a randomized interval. Perhaps the GPS coordinates could be altered within a reasonable tolerance between requests to mimic real traffic. Sending requests from a frequented location/IP and including your own location in your request may help as well. Anything to camouflage the traffic and make it look realistic will decrease your chance of ban.

Ultimately Telegram accounts with API access are very temperamental. The ideal vector for this would be to use 25 unique, aged accounts sending an individual request ( instead of one account sending 25 identical requests ).

yeah, wanna say "hi" to TG developers) p.s. to be honest, TG is my only one messenger. I don't have WA, Viber, Signal, etc. And I really love how TG is making the product hence I wanna help to improve it's security.

UPD: btw, there are some scam TG channels which do not have anything common with me or this branch. Please be careful. TG team - if you read this, may I ask you please, to remove those channels? Thanks a lot

They 100% won't read this and they totally don't care about users. They never read support emails and never explain why they ban telethon when allowing userbots :)

Man, if you watch Pavel's interview to Taker, he told he had around 30 people in his team and almost 1B users. Hence it's quite tough to manage customers when you have so few team members
