Yep, I agree. Familiar with spear phishing as well. And hope this helped others too!
Thing is, I got this through Telegram not email. It came up as a notification on my phone. Source looks like it's been deleted but I'll keep looking.
I would assume if this was just spamming Telegram users there would be more information about it online. So far, I've only seen a couple of --short--Reddit posts about it.
I'll keep checking though. If I find anything, I'll post an update!
