The OP warned about the danger of clicking on links in foreign messengers

Under the guise of advertising in foreign messengers, links can often be hidden, used by fraudsters to steal users' personal data and funds. Evgeny Masharov, a member of the commission of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation for the public examination of draft laws and other regulations, warned about this on March 9.

"Due to numerous appeals from citizens who clicked on an advertising link in Telegram, YouTube and Google, as well as links from other foreign platforms, as a result of which attempts to steal money from Russians were made remotely, the OP of the Russian Federation recommends citizens, organizations, bloggers advertising their services, goods, promoting their brands, to use Russian platforms as advertising distributors," he said in an interview with TASS.
