Had these coincidences a bunch of times when I was writing with someone on Telegram. Like, 3 times in a row. We were discussing potential domain names for a project and they got auto-linked and probably auto-scanned by Telegram's preview bot, which in return probably shares the data with a third-party company.

Never post your domains anywhere online nowadays, until you really registered the domain and the DNS entry is pointing to your server.

Some do, some don't. I've never had this problem with GANDI, for example.
Gandi was acquired earlier this year and I wouldn't have so much faith in the new ownership just yet
