The two Russian scammers, Fovan and Lexus, spoke to British writer Joan Rowling on behalf of Ukraine’s President Vladimir Zelensky.
The Russian newspaper “Life” reported that one of the pranksters presented himself during the prank as Ukrainian President Zelensky.
The scammers asked if the “Harry Potter” author would like to remove a Z-shaped scar from the novel’s forehead. “Maybe Rowling wants to replace it with a trident, as it is on the Ukrainian crest,” they said. She replied that such a move would immediately cause an uproar in the newspapers.
They said, “We will open Harry Potter book clubs all over the country and name them after you. We also invite you to read Harry Potter to the Azov soldiers. They have a library. They love reading a lot, especially German literature. And please don’t read passages that refer to That they are nationalists and don’t like others.”
It is reported that at the end of last March, the two scammers manipulated the British Defense Minister, Ben Wallis. A few days after the prank was posted, YouTube banned the Russian pranksters’ channel. Fovan said at the time that the reason for the blocking was a complaint submitted by the British Ministry of Defense to the management of the video channel.
