The teen from Moscow allegedly won the competition to live with Russian adult film actress for an entire month.
An online competition won by a teenager has reportedly offered him a chance to live with a porn star for a month. However, multiple media reports suggest that it is most likely "fake".
16-year-old Ruslan Shchedrin from Moscow, who reportedly won the competition to live with Russian adult film actress, Ekaterina Makarova, earlier in the week, is actually a child actor, reports LifeNews. After being the 100,000th person to visit Cases4Real - a website selling virtual weapons video games, Shchedrin claimed the unusual prize.
MailOnline reports, Shchedrin said he was “boiling inside” at the thought of spending a month with Makarova. She has reportedly made it clear she will not have sex with the boy. Shchedrin's mother Vera is not happy about the prize.
“I am absolutely against it. He has got exams, he is studying,” she told reporters.
However, since news of the contest broke, Russian media claim it is a hoax. Over Twitter, a Russian viral marketing expert, Andrew Konyaev said the competition is "fake" and the winner is "actually an actor".
“Guys, here’s a cool fake. This guy is an actor but news channel reports this viral story as real events,” tweeted Konyaev.
Andrew Konyaev's Twitter post:
Buzzfeed reports that Makarova has been listed in several Russian film databases as an actor. Russian media site TJournal claimed they were unable to verify the identity of the boy’s mother or a 17-year-old girl claiming to be his sister.
The porn star's identity is also not clear, as she has allegedly performed in the adult film industry under several different names including Ekaterina, Irena, Irene and Janna, the Independent reported.
However, Dmitry Beseda, the man who organised the competition told TJournal the contest was simply “a fun competition” and is not a hoax.
