I've noticed that when I unlock my phone, it sometimes automatically opens a Chrome site called "uglyferret" or joins a Telegram scam group. I've tried using Malwarebytes and Bitdefender to fix the issue, but it's still happening. Does anyone have suggestions on what I can do to resolve this?

I had the same problem recently. I found that it implanted a base homepage in Chrome that made it super annoying. I managed to remove it and block the URL, plus deleted cookies from other sites and ran Malwarebytes again. It seemed to help for a bit, but the cookies kept coming back. I'm considering just resetting my phone at this point.
I tried uninstalling Chrome, restarting the phone, and then reinstalling it. For now, it seems to have worked!
