How do one know if the members of a project's telegram group are real people and not Bots. Also are there telegram audit services that can tell how many fake members are in a group.

THere are no audit services for Telegram. But still youll need to have a sim-card for every bot, which isnt that simple

Majority of telegrams members are real born out of desire of investors interested in the project. However, there are ICOs telegram group services that sell fake members to join just to make the project seem legitimate.

The problem is not just about bots but also dummy accounts who either joins in the conversation or stay inactive (basically just to add in the total number of members). There are also those real people who are added without them knowing. Surely, every telegram group has a mixture of them.
In any case since there's no such service (from my knowing), you just gotta observe and identify the red flags.
Real people who are truly interested discusses substantial things about the project whereas fakes are not so pay attention in the flow of conversations. 10000++ members but you are always seeing the same people? now that's suspicious isn't it? Ask them how long has the telegram group been in existence and think if the total number of members is really possible to attain in that period of time.
It might not hint that there's a huge or majority of them are fakes as it could just be a case of uninterested members but nevertheless both of them aren't a good thing so so

Fairly easy to tell if you spend some time in there. If you see telegram channels with 10k+ members, that's already huge. Usually real and active telegram channels have between 100 and 1000 active users. Most of those users that aren't active join because it's part of the bounty or requirements for the airdrop. That doesn't mean they aren't real, they just wont really say anything or pay much attention to the channel.

Alomost all of these project are valid , but you can not make sure any project from these will be earnings . Because of some project even can not be listed on any exchange platform , so you can not get any from this project , just useless tokens .

You need to observe in the group and record how many people are talking. In general, there will be a number of unread messages prompting over a period of time, which can explain the activity of the group members.

Why I think that there are projects with fake members is because I joined the telegram group of a project a while back and over time, the total number of members kept dropping. The project is one with prospect so I don't think it is the case of members loosing interest.

Some say that some groups have posting bot or paid trolls but I havent encountered one I guess. Maybe btc experts could give us better details about this matter.

This is related to the project. High-quality projects often have true members, but I am afraid that there are few people who are in the airdrop.

It's easy to figure out if the person who's chatting on those telegram groups are bot. And to say if the member's are real about the project, they are asking more details, serious details and questions that are on their minds. You can also see that they have invested to that project. Also are there telegram audit services that can tell how many fake members are in a group.
I don't think that there is this type of service but that's a good idea for the emergence of telegram channels/bounties/communications.

Telegram registration requires SMS or phone authentication! This requires a sim card, which requires real-name authentication in my country! The possibility of robots in Telegram is very low!

In most cases, you will encounter a telegram channel that has over 10,000 members but still being spammed by Airdrop referral links-- THESE ARE THE BOTS. Also few of these 10,000 members are investors to discuss the project and make a useful contribution to the community. In contrary, large numbers of people in the telegram are airdrop and bounty participants who ask questions such as "When is the distribution", "When listing", "What is the ICO price?", "Binance?" . It's hilarious to see they are easy to identify as bounty hunters or dumpers LOL

There are still some countries that don't require any kind of verification though, so this isn't a very good reason to believe that it's unlikely for bots/alts to appear. Even if your country does link your identity to your numbers, Telegram doesn't, so they won't know it's the same person using multiple numbers. Some people say they can get Google Voice numbers to work with Telegram too, so it's probably quite easy to set up bots/alts. But yeah there is no easy way to tell. Bots may be easier to catch because they typically aren't very sophisticated, but alts can be almost impossible to detect if their owner is smart enough. You just have to not trust anyone blindly and not judge the size of the community by just the number of members.
