Firstly, the issue of fake accounts - there are tons of them. The only way I have found to trust a Telegram channel is to see its posts shared by another trusted channel.
Next, the scammers. Telegram seems to be doing fuck all to prevent bot accounts. I regularly get private messages from scammers. Delete and move on. Telegram lets you delete the convo from their end.
And of course change all of your account settings to private.

I thought Geroge News was grifters?
That's a common misconception, with its roots in a series of posts by an ex-mod here. They left GAW immediately after writing the George News hit-pieces.
Many - like myself - were not convinced by those posts, and pointed out at the time that the conclusions drawn were not based in fact and relied on assumption.
George News still has a loyal following here, but every time they are mentioned someone comments that it is a paytriot larp. These comments are so consistent I sometimes wonder if it isn't an intentional effort to keep anons from checking George out.
