InfoSifter
Telegram Guard Bot
A custom anti-impostor and anti-scam moderation bot for Telegram groups that helps protect your community when human moderators are busy, asleep or offline.
The problem: scammers and impostors of admins in Telegram groups
Crypto and Web3 Telegram groups are frequent targets for fake admins, fake moderators, phishing links, suspicious “investment” offers and direct-message traps. Even good moderators cannot watch every message and every renamed account 24/7.
Fake admins
Scammers imitate trusted names, usernames and profile styles to confuse new members.
Scam links
Suspicious domains, t.me links and phishing-style messages can be detected according to your agreed group rules.
Scam wording
Messages about unrealistic returns, “DM me”, “minimum deposit”, fake withdrawals and similar patterns can trigger alerts or actions.
It is a custom service configured for your group, your moderators/admins, your trusted users, allowed links and preferred level of automatic action.

Setup process
1. Free consultation
We discuss your group, scam problems, moderator structure, current rules and desired strictness level.
2. Safe test mode
The bot can first run in alert-only mode, so detections can be reviewed before automatic bans or deletions are enabled.
3. Rule tuning
Trusted users, admin IDs, scam keywords, allowed domains and blocked domains are tuned to fit your group.
4. Live protection
After testing, the bot can monitor continuously and take the agreed actions automatically.
FAQ
No automated system can honestly promise 100% detection. The goal is to reduce risk, react faster, catch common patterns and make impersonation much harder.
Yes. Alert-only mode is recommended for initial testing. Automatic deleting or banning can be enabled later after the rules are tuned.
Yes. The bot can use a trusted user ID list so selected users can post links or use certain keywords without being flagged.
Yes, but the preferred setup is one dedicated bot/script per customer group for cleaner rules, better control and less risk of cross-group confusion.
It is especially useful for crypto, blockchain, trading, Web3, DAO and project communities where scammers often imitate admins or target new members.
Why not just use Rose or other free Telegram bots?
Many Telegram communities already use moderation bots such as Rose, Shieldy or Combot. Those are useful tools, but InfoSifter Guard is designed differently.
| Typical Telegram Bot | InfoSifter Guard |
|---|---|
| Same rule set for everyone | Custom rules for your community |
| Generic spam protection | Built around your specific threats |
| Shared cloud service | Dedicated bot instance |
| Limited customization | Custom development available |
| Fixed feature set | New detections can be added later |
| Focus on spam | Focus on impersonators, scammers and community-specific abuse |
