BeefyGuard
Telegram anti-impersonation & fake-admin detection
Catch admin name clones, username lookalikes, and profile-photo copies — before they DM your members
BeefyGuard is built for crypto Telegram communities that already run moderation bots but still get hit by identity clones. Detect impersonators in-group, auto-ban or alert, and keep a clear rule: admins never DM first.
Powerful Features
Everything you need to protect your Telegram community
Profile Picture Matching
Built to catch profile-picture impersonation — when someone copies an admin photo to look trusted. Pair it with name and lookalike detection so clones are stopped in-group before they DM members.
Catches photo clones
Flags members using an admin's profile picture pattern
Works with name checks
Combines photo signals with name and username lookalike detection
Fast response
Can auto-ban or alert so mods act before members get scammed in DMs
Portal Verification
CAPTCHA-protected verification for private groups. Users tap "Verify" in your channel, complete a challenge (button/math/emoji), and receive a one-time invite link. Blocks bots and ensures only real humans join your community.
Web Dashboard
Beautiful web dashboard to manage all settings. Easy configuration without Telegram commands. Real-time settings updates with modern UI. Control everything from one place - detection, moderation, members, and more.
Multi-Group Announcements
Link announcement channels to multiple groups. Post once to your channel, reach all communities instantly. Perfect for networks, clans, and multi-language communities. Manage subscriptions from dashboard.
One-Tap Mod Actions
Every detection log includes interactive action buttons. Whitelist, ban, unban, or mute users directly from the log channel with one tap. No commands needed - instant moderation from anywhere.
Forum Topic Logging
Use a single log channel for multiple groups with Forum Mode. Each group gets its own organized topic - no more mixed logs. Auto-create topics from dashboard or set manually.
Cross-Chat Quote Spam
Detects the "Reply in another chat" scam technique - when spammers quote messages from external scam channels into your group. Auto-tracks repeat offender channels and bans after configurable threshold.
CAS Database Integration
Connected to Combot Anti-Spam with 1.2M+ banned users. Automatically checks and bans known spammers on join. Your group benefits from collective protection of thousands of Telegram communities worldwide. Silent mode available.
Intelligent Spam Protection
Advanced 9-layer spam detection system. Blocks forwarded spam, channel promotion, fake support scammers, and low-activity user abuse. Detects reply-to-forward spam, first-message link bans, and suspicious patterns that basic filters miss.
Global Bans Network
When a scammer is caught in one group, they're automatically banned from all other groups BeefyGuard protects. This creates a powerful protection network where one group's detection instantly protects all groups.
Linked Channel Spam Detection
Catches spam links hidden in replies to your group's linked channel. Scammers reply to legitimate channel posts but include malicious links. Extracts hidden URLs from text_link entities.
Fake Support Scam Detection
Detects when low-activity users reply to regular members pretending to be support. Tracks repeat attempts and auto-bans after threshold. Protects your community from "let me help you" scammers.
First Message Link Auto-Ban
Instantly bans users whose very first message contains a link. Configurable grace period (1-168 hours). Catches drive-by spammers who join only to post links then leave.
Background Scanning
Continuous protection that never stops. Automatically scans all members every 5-30 minutes (configurable). Monitors recent joiners within 24-hour window. Catches impersonators who join quietly and change their profile later.
Fuzzy Matching
Advanced similarity algorithms catch clever variations like "Admin" vs "Admіn" (Cyrillic characters) and other impersonation tricks. Detects unicode abuse, zero-width characters, and lookalike substitutions.
Automatic Detection
Monitors new member joins and name/username changes in real-time. Detects impersonation attempts instantly as they happen. Multi-point detection across join, profile updates, and messages.
Auto-Ban/Kick
Automatically ban or kick impersonators upon detection. Configurable actions to protect your group members instantly. Choose between ban, kick, or manual approval modes.
Whitelist Management
Exempt trusted users from detection. Prevents false positives for common names. Supports both global and group-specific whitelists with easy management via dashboard.
Smart Raid Defense
Protects against coordinated attacks. Auto-detects when too many users join in a short time and locks down the group. Configurable thresholds (joins/timeframe) and actions. Prevents raids before they overwhelm your community.
Anti-Flood Protection
Stop message spammers with intelligent flood detection. Automatically mutes, warns, kicks, or bans users sending too many messages. Configurable limits (1-100 messages), time windows (1-300 seconds), and mute durations.
Media & Link Filters
Granular control over content. Filter photos, videos, GIFs, stickers, files, voice messages. Set file size limits (up to 2GB). Whitelist trusted domains or blacklist spam sites. Customizable violation actions.
Word Blacklist
Block specific words, phrases, or patterns. Case-sensitive or insensitive matching. Supports regex for advanced filtering. Configurable actions: delete only, warn, mute, kick, or ban. Import blacklists from other bots.
Welcome & Verification
Welcome new members with customizable messages. Optional CAPTCHA verification with time limits to block bots. Goodbye messages for members who leave. Create a welcoming environment while maintaining security.
Log-Only Messages
Send all service messages (bans, detections, warnings) exclusively to your log channel instead of the main group. Prevents spam in busy groups while keeping admins fully informed.
Auto-Delete Service Messages
Configure automatic deletion of service messages from 1 minute to 24 hours. Keeps your group chat clean and focused on conversations. Fully controllable via dashboard. Separate timers for different message types.
Bot Settings Import
Switching from Rose or Combot? Import all your settings with one JSON file. Universal importer automatically maps settings from any moderation bot. Transfer blacklists, filters, welcome messages, and anti-spam rules instantly.
