VoIP Lockers Bot: spam-free group

You open your group chat and see ten new "members" posting the same ad. An hour later they are back under different names. VoIP Lockers Bot was made for this headache: it checks everyone who joins and filters out virtual phone numbers and duplicate accounts. 🛡️

The bot comes from Italy, so its description is in Italian. You can still set it up in your group without knowing the language, just by following the menu.

Why a virtual number worries an admin

A VoIP number can be bought online in minutes with no SIM card. Spammers and ban evaders love them: one account gets banned, and a minute later the next one shows up.

The bot looks for exactly those accounts among newcomers. Its profile says it protects groups from spam and from one person using several accounts.

What it does inside a group

• VoIP account blocking. New members with virtual numbers are detected when they join.
• Entry captcha. A person confirms they are not an automated script.
• Nudity filter. Helps keep explicit images out of the chat.
• Blacklist. Known offenders cannot come back.
• Several verification styles. The panel offers message, inline and web verification.

For a violation you can pick the action: warn, kick or ban. This helps in small friendly chats where you do not want harsh penalties straight away.

Setup in about five minutes

1. Open the group, go to its management screen and add the bot as an administrator.
2. Give it rights to restrict members and delete messages, otherwise the protection cannot work.
3. Type /dashboard in the group. The settings panel opens (the command works only in groups).
4. Turn on the checks you need, choose the action for violations and test with a spare account.

The /privacy command in a private chat with the bot shows its privacy policy. Read it if you run a community where member data matters.

Limits you should know

Any automatic protection gives false positives. Some honest users do live on virtual numbers, for privacy or because they travel. For open communities, start with a warning instead of a ban.

The bot also does not replace a live moderator. It removes routine work, but disputed cases still need a human decision. 👀

Which chats benefit most

• Large public groups. Spammers show up there daily.
• Work and client chats. An outsider in the room can cost you reputation.
• Giveaway communities. Multiple accounts ruin the fairness of contests.
• Chats with active reactions. Userbots that inflate reactions turn up there.

The app has around 285 thousand users, and Telegram lists tens of thousands of monthly users. For a moderation tool that is a good sign: it has been tried on very different groups.

What else to add to your defenses

One bot does not close every gap. Turn on slow mode in the group, limit links for newcomers and appoint several administrators so the chat is never unattended. Those simple steps together with an entry check cut spam noticeably. ✅
