[50179] Reports of unauthorized marketing of internet services in Iran

Suspicious commercial activity in the digital space in Iran

On May 4, 2026, extensive activity was identified in several Telegram channels distributing paid internet access services and browsing data. According to reports accumulated from Esteghlal Fans Channel as well as news channels such as Immediate News Breaking News US War Immediate and Immediate News Breaking News US War Attack, promotional messages are being distributed offering internet packages defined as "fast" and "without disconnections."

The publications, which accumulated approximately 71,212 views in total, offer detailed rates that vary according to the browsing volume: starting from 250,000 Tomans for 1 GB, up to unlimited packages for the price of 4.5 million Tomans. The advertisers emphasize that the service is guaranteed without interruptions for a month.

According to reports from the Esteghlal Fans Channel, the operators claim that they use the service themselves and offer a "guarantee and security" for the quality of browsing. The messages direct users interested in purchasing the service to contact a specific user account (@Aepam) to complete the transaction.

It is important to note that the reporting sources, which include football fan channels alongside channels dealing with foreign news and security, are not official media outlets. The publications are characterized by aggressive marketing language and raise questions regarding the legitimacy of these service providers and the quality of the technical service offered to end customers.
