Short answer
FakeWatch searches public Telegram channels, groups and bots that use your project's name and compares them with your official ones. Its bot in your group flags members who copy an admin's name or photo, scam links and wrong contract addresses as they appear. It needs no access to your Telegram account.
Who this is for: Crypto projects with a Telegram community.
Outside your group
We search public Telegram channels, groups and bots that use your project's name and compare them with the official ones you listed. Typical finds:
- copies of your announcement channel that repost your news with a scam link added;
- "support" accounts and bots that ask users for a seed phrase;
- "VIP" or "presale" groups that sell fake allocations.
Search uses public data only, so FakeWatch needs no access to your Telegram account.
Inside your group
Add the FakeWatch bot to your group as an admin. It checks every member who writes:
- Fake admins. A member whose name or profile photo copies one of your admins is flagged. A copied name is muted by default; automatic ban is an option you can turn on.
- Links. Links from members are deleted unless they are on your official list or whitelist. Lookalike sites also send you an alert.
- Wrong addresses. A contract address that is not one of yours is flagged.
Each alert reaches your admins with buttons to act or to mark the member as not a fake. See how to stop fake admins in Telegram for the group settings that help too.
The /verify command
Anyone in your group can send /verify with a link or an address and get an answer from your official list. The same answers appear on your public verification page.

Frequently asked questions
Does FakeWatch need access to my Telegram account?
No. Search uses public data, and the bot only needs to be added to your group as an admin.
Does the bot ban people by itself?
Only if you turn it on. By default it mutes a member who copies an admin's name, deletes links from members that are not on your official list, and alerts your admins with buttons to ban or mark the member as not a fake.
