Unknown people have started writing to the subscribers of Memorial's Telegram channel under the guise of the organization's activists. Unknown people are contacting subscribers of the Telegram channel Zikr Live, posing as activists of a human rights organization, Zikr representatives warned. In personal messages, they ask whether the interlocutors share the organization's position and are willing to help it. In particular, strangers are interested in the opportunity to participate in actions, provide memory assistance, and also try to obtain information about other people. At the same time, the senders claim that they find user connections through the organization's channel. Memorial emphasized that its representatives never contact subscribers from personal accounts. The organization only uses an anonymous bot to communicate with readers. Human rights activists urged people not to respond to such messages and to block senders. It is not known who is behind the newsletter and for what purpose subscriber information is collected.
