Verifying if the members of a Telegram group are real users can be challenging, but there are several methods you can employ to get a better sense of the authenticity of group members:

1. Profile Examination:

 

• Profile Pictures: Real users usually have profile pictures. Check if the profiles have pictures that seem personal and varied.
• Usernames and Bios: Authentic users often have complete bios and usernames that seem realistic.

 

2. Activity Monitoring:

• Message Activity: Real members typically engage in conversations. Check the group’s chat history to see how active and interactive the members are.
• Join Dates: Telegram shows when users joined the group. A large number of users joining simultaneously might indicate fake accounts.

 

3. Verification Bots:

• Welcome Bot: Implement a bot that asks new members to verify their humanity through CAPTCHA or other simple tasks.
• Custom Verification: You can set up a bot or a manual process that requires users to answer a question or perform an action to gain access to the group.

 

4. Admin Tools and Insights:

• Admin Actions: Use admin tools to monitor and control the group. Regularly review member activities and take action against suspicious accounts.
• Third-Party Bots: Use bots designed for managing and analyzing group members, such as Combot or Rose, which can help identify and remove fake accounts.

 

5. Member Interaction:

• Direct Engagement: Engage with members through group activities or discussions to see how they respond.
• Survey or Poll: Conduct a survey or poll within the group to gauge member engagement and interest.

 

6. External Tools:

• User Search: Use Telegram’s search feature to look up members and see if they belong to other groups or have public activity.
• Background Check: For critical groups, you might consider more extensive checks, but ensure you respect privacy and data protection laws.

 

Implementing a Verification Bot:

Here’s a basic outline to set up a verification bot using a common bot platform like Combot or Rose:

1. Add the Bot to the Group:

• Search for the bot (e.g., @Combot or @MissRose_bot) and add it to your group as an admin with necessary permissions.

 

2. Configure the Bot:

• Follow the bot’s setup instructions to configure the verification process. This might include setting up CAPTCHA, questions, or other verification methods.

 

3. Monitor the Bot’s Activity:

• Regularly check the bot’s logs and reports to see how effective it is at filtering out fake accounts.

By using these methods, you can significantly improve the likelihood of having real, engaged members in your Telegram group.
