❌ “Son of Pavel Durov” was caught on fraud.

A teenager calling himself the son of the founder of Telegram deceived users by offering “digital gifts” in the messenger.

As evidence of kinship, he sent a video next to Pavel Durov and showed personal correspondence.

The story reached Pavel Durov himself, who marked the teenager’s Telegram account as fraudulent and compensated for the damage to the two victims.

In one of the merged correspondences, the teenager admits that he fears his father’s punishment and is even afraid that he may be sent to live in Dagestan.
