OREANDA-NEWS. As it was reported by the television channel Dozhd, Moscow residents are being offered money to register fake accounts on the government platform mos.ru and vote online in support of amending the constitution. Would-be participants are being promised 75 rubles for each registration (about $1), and another 50 rubles (about $0.70) for voting through the created account. It's recommended to registering a minimum of 20 accounts per day, according to Dozhd.

These offers first appeared in a chat on WhatsApp, and were brought to the attention of Dozhd's journalists by an audience member. Someone in the chat room (by the pseudonym «Oleg Viktorovich») also said that a separate SIM card will be provided for each registration. It is assumed that during the voting period the scheme participants will vote for constitutional amendments.

The TV channel later reported that from the organizers of the scheme, it was received a database of personal data, which was meant to be registered on mos.ru. It includes a passport number and series, social security number (SNILS), residential address, age, full name, and other personal data for each person.

Dmitry Reut, the Moscow Election Commission deputy chairman, had requested that the police verify reports about the creation of fake accounts for online voting ahead of the July 1 plebiscite on constitutional amendments.
