A Wave of Suspicious Internet Service Advertisements on Telegram
On May 6, 2026, increased activity was identified from various Telegram channels, including خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری, خبرفوری جنگ🚨اخبارفوری امریکا فوری, and اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری, promoting the sale of high-speed internet and censorship-free access. The phenomenon also appeared in channels covering various interests, such as کانال هواداران استقلال and کانال هواداران پرسپولیس ایران.
Offer Details and Pricing
According to the report by خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری, the channels offer "unlimited high-speed internet" and "filter-free access" at prices of 250,000 Tomans per gigabyte, with attractive price tiers for larger volumes. The channels state that the service is suitable for "gaming, streaming, and fast downloads."
Simultaneously, a channel named مستر ورزش | MrVarzesh published an offer defined as "statistically below market price," which includes 10 gigabytes for 1,250,000 Tomans. The message exerts psychological pressure on customers by stating that the "offer is valid for 24 hours only," while promising "24/7 technical support" and a "money-back guarantee."
Analysis of Sources
It is important to note that the sources distributing these offers are mostly news channels using sensationalist names related to "war" or "political news," which raises questions regarding the reliability of the companies behind the advertisements. The use of sports channels as a distribution platform indicates an attempt to reach the widest possible target audience. Information security experts warn that purchasing VPN services from anonymous sources on Telegram that request payment in "cryptocurrencies or direct bank transfers" carries a high risk of financial fraud and personal data leakage.
