Sometimes it happens that you need to send a message to a specific person, but you want to remain hidden so that the recipient does not recognize you. A relatively recently launched service for sending anonymous messages on VKontakte - Anmail - will come to the rescue in such a situation.
About the site
The service has an intuitive interface, designed in Metro style, in which even a beginner will not get confused. The site has built-in short instructions for working with it in case any difficulties arise while sending a message.
Unlike some competitors, the Anmail service sends the text exactly as a personal message, and does not post it to a strange community with a link to the recipient. The result of the service will be a personal message from the “postman” of the Anmail service, who will deliver your message, hiding your identity from the recipient.
Instructions for using the service
So, if, no matter what the reason, you decide to send an anonymous message to a user on the VKontakte social network, just follow the instructions below.
- go to the Anmail service website using this link;
- go to the sending message section;
- provide a link to the recipient's personal page. Both links with a page identifier (http://vk.com/id22615858) and links with a short page name (http://vk.com/garinovv) are appropriate here;
- enter the text of the message that will be sent to the recipient;
- enter the text from the picture in the field next to it to prove that you are not a robot;
- send it!
It is also worth understanding that if the user is not on your friends list and has limited the acceptance of messages from non-friends, sending a message to this user will be impossible. In all other cases, the service for sending anonymous messages Anmail.ru works flawlessly.
You can go to the Anmail service website to view it or send an anonymous message using this link.
As such, you cannot send an anonymous message to VK. Why? For the simple reason that when sending a message, the first and last name of the user who sent it is always indicated. But you can consider other options.
First way
In this case, we are talking about creating a new account. So, you can register a new page under any name, since the administration does not check the first and last name during registration. However, if you want to change them, you can't do it. Accordingly, you can send messages on behalf of an anonymous person, but only if the user has messages open for strangers, and today many people prefer to close them due to various types of spam.
The person who receives the message is unlikely to be able to guess who it was received from, since the user can call himself anything. For example, who is this Oleg, only he knows:
Just don’t be surprised if your account is frozen for any kind of messages.
Second way
Now there are special services for sending messages. For example, go to a website or service in VK itself, write the desired message, add a user ID and send. He receives something like this as a notification:
There are several similar services and you can easily find them on the Internet. The sender's name is truly unknown, but the recipient and your message may be shown on the service group wall. Otherwise, the services really work (at the time of writing).
There is a type of community whose content is created by the subscribers themselves. In such groups, users post their questions or life stories. For example, communities from the “Overheard” category.
After all, community admins see who suggested the post and can even leave your signature with a link to the page.
In this regard, an application called Vposter, with which subscribers can submit their entries anonymously. No one, not even community leaders, will know about the author of the post.
Anonymous messages on VK available only to those communities where this application is installed. And now we will look at step-by-step installation instructions:
1. First, go to community management, open the "" tab and find "Vposter".
- Add the application to your community;
3. Now let’s log in to the application to work with it.
All. The application has been installed successfully.
How to send an anonymous message on VK
From now on, anyone can open it and write an anonymous message on VK.
- The application is located under the community avatar;
After logging into the application, users will have access to writing form anonymous entry;
In accordance with the requirements of Federal Law No. 59-FZ “On the procedure for considering appeals from citizens of the Russian Federation,” when filing a complaint with a government agency or department, the applicant must indicate his personal and contact information in order to receive a response about the decision made. This is true both in writing and in person, when the claim is submitted directly at a personal meeting with an official and is recorded in the incoming correspondence log. But, despite the strictness of the law, in a number of cases the population is given the opportunity to anonymously contact higher authorities and regulatory authorities to point out non-compliance with legal norms, report corruption or a crime.
Which complaint is considered anonymous?
Regardless of the method of submitting the document, the citizen must provide certain personal information that will be used for further identification and response. We are talking about the following information:
- last name, first name, patronymic (if any) of the applicant;
- contact phone number (optional, but this will help clarify certain details or nuances of the case if necessary to study the specified circumstances);
- full postal address (including zip code);
- email address (optional).
Attention! In most cases, a citizen, at his discretion, can leave either a postal or email address.
The absence of any personal or contact information indicates the anonymity of the application and is a reason for refusal to accept it. Such a decision may also be made if it turns out that the applicant whose data is contained in the document did not actually apply to the department or institution that received the complaint.
What type of complaint can be filed anonymously?
A citizen has the right to count on studying the stated facts without indicating his personal and contact information when it comes to:
- providing information about an illegal act being prepared, committed or being committed by one or several persons (for example, this can be reported to the prosecutor’s office https://23.xn--b1aew.xn--p1ai/request_main);
- citizens or officials who are attempting or have already committed an illegal act;
- facts of corruption, when the applicant was faced with abuse of official position, a demand to give a bribe, as well as other illegal use by an official of his official position. You can appeal against the actions of an official aimed at obtaining benefits in the form of valuables, money, property and other property services on the website of the Presidential Administration http://letters.kremlin.ru/letters/corruption);
- providing information regarding a committed or impending terrorist act.
- illegal actions of the employer, but in this case the applicant will still have to write his personal information, which will be encrypted by the system.
The Federal Labor Service has launched a service that will allow workers to complain about illegal dismissals and other violations - Electronic Inspector. Moreover, this can be done anonymously. The author of the application indicates his personal data, but it is classified by the service. This is convenient in situations where rights have been violated (illegal dismissal, non-payment of wages, etc.), but the applicant is afraid of a negative reaction to the message or unlawful actions towards himself on the part of the manager.
An appeal can be sent electronically to Rostrud and on the official website, but this cannot be done anonymously. It is important to remember that even when making an anonymous statement, reporting offenses or controversial situations, it is necessary to provide reliable information. Such a complaint does not relieve responsibility for the opinion of the author, and therefore it is not recommended to abuse this opportunity.
How to compose
Depending on where the applicant wants to submit his appeal, this can be done either orally (for example, via a 24-hour helpline) or in writing. In addition, some institutions or government organizations provide the opportunity to complain about the actions of third parties online, if such functionality has been developed on their websites and this does not contradict the requirements of the law.
Written complaint
At his own discretion, a citizen has the right to submit a claim in writing, using one of the possible delivery methods (postal forwarding, fax, etc.). In order for the document to look convincing, it should be compiled in compliance with a number of rules and recommendations, as well as provide additional materials that can be used in studying the situation described. 
In the upper right corner of the document, you can not only write the name of the body or institution to which it is addressed, but also indicate a specific official (for example, “district prosecutor”, “plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Russian Federation”, etc.).
Special attention should be paid to the text of the document. Despite the fact that it is submitted anonymously, when compiling it, it is better to adhere to a business style of presentation, clearly describe the facts and avoid emotional and meaningless digressions. If the text of the complaint does not look convincing or contains too little initial data, this may interfere with taking urgent measures or bringing violators to administrative (or criminal) liability.
The text of the document should describe the current situation, indicate the circumstances of what happened (for example, the date and place of the incident), as well as the details of the persons who were direct participants in the conflict.
If possible, additional materials (video recordings, photographs, conclusions, etc.) should be attached to the document, which will indicate the existence of grounds for filing a complaint. And although, on the one hand, it is better not to provide the originals of materials in order to eliminate the possibility of their loss, on the other hand, not all copies can be accepted for consideration, since there may be a suspicion of their falsification. In any case, you should make an inventory of the attached materials, placing it as a separate paragraph in the document.
An anonymous complaint is not signed by the originator or he or she may provide a fictitious name. But after the text it is better to write the date the document was compiled.
Online complaint
In some situations, you can submit an anonymous complaint online, if such an opportunity is presented on the website of the department or organization where the user plans to apply. This service is provided on the websites of individual authorized representatives of the President of the Russian Federation, where it is clearly stated that the stated facts about corruption will be carefully verified even if the applicant does not want to leave his contact information. This indicates that in the proposed online form you can provide fictitious personal information, which will not be considered a basis for refusing to accept it. 
When filling out, pay great attention to the text of the message. In view of the fact that a certain limit on the number of characters may be set for the user, he must clearly and accurately describe the current situation, the circumstances of the incident and its participants. What information is provided in the text of the message largely determines whether it will be accepted for consideration and what decision will subsequently be made. It is important to remember that the user does not leave his contact information, so the official reviewing the application will not have the opportunity to obtain additional information to objectively study the situation.
If the site uses functionality that allows you to attach electronic files to the form to confirm the described facts, then if such documents are available, the user should not refuse to provide additional materials. If this option is not available or the file is of such a format that it cannot be attached to an electronic form, then you can send additional materials by mail, indicating in the letter the number at which the online claim was registered (such information will be provided immediately after sending the message).
Procedure for consideration
The current law determines the specifics of studying and verifying requests from citizens who did not want to leave their personal and contact information, which can be used to provide answers.
An anonymous complaint about an offense cannot be considered a basis for initiating an administrative or criminal case. But at the same time, all the stated facts are subject to careful verification to establish the absence or presence of elements of a crime. In this regard, if a report has been received about a completed, ongoing or planned illegal act, such a statement must be sent to law enforcement agencies, which are obliged to verify the received facts.
In accordance with the Instructions on organizing the consideration of appeals, adopted in 2013, responses to claims that do not contain the personal data of the applicants and details for sending reports on decisions made (postal or email addresses) are not provided. Based on a written decision of the head of the security agency, manager or other authorized person, such a message is recognized as anonymous, but is still subject to registration, recording and subsequent verification. At the same time, they are registered as “other information” about events and crimes that threaten public and personal safety, and are checked by the operational unit of the institution’s security agency.
Based on the results of checking the stated facts, a decision can be made:
- refusal to initiate a criminal case (in this case, the inspection materials are formed into separate files and stored for 5 years);
- to initiate a criminal case;
- about transmitting a report of a crime to court;
- on the transmission of a report of a crime under investigative jurisdiction.
The period for consideration of an anonymous complaint should not exceed 30 days. But it can be extended for another 30 days if the initial period allotted by law was not enough to study the facts provided.
Attention! Due to the fact that contact information is not indicated in such an application, the applicant should not count on receiving a response based on the results of the consideration of the case.
The legislative framework
When drawing up an anonymous complaint, you should rely on the following legislative acts:
- Federal Law “On the procedure for considering appeals from citizens of the Russian Federation” No. 59-FZ dated May 2, 2006.
- Federal Law “On the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation” dated January 17, 1992 N 2202-1-FZ (as amended on August 10, 2017).
- Federal Law “On Police” dated 02/07/2011 N 3-FZ (as amended on 07/29/2017).
- Federal Law “On Combating Terrorism” dated March 6, 2006 N 35-FZ (as amended on July 6, 2016).
- Instructions on the organization of consideration of appeals from citizens of the Russian Federation in the bodies of the Federal Security Service (approved by Order of the FSB of Russia dated August 30, 2013 N 463).

Now there are many different sites on the Internet that provide services, both paid and free, for anonymously sending messages and other notifications to users of social networks. In this material we will look at method of sending anonymous notifications on VKontakte without using third party resources.
It is possible that the method described below is already quite outdated or is known to many, but for those who are reading about it for the first time, I think it will be useful.
So, first you need to create a community - a group. I think that there is no need to write about this and everyone will guess how to perform this action. Okay, let's move on. In the created group, you can enter any information, set an avatar, or leave it completely empty, it’s up to you. After the created page is ready, you need to go to the form for publishing a new message on the wall, but don’t rush, in order for the “trick” to be successful, you will need to enter some symbols described below.
Having checked the publication on behalf of the community in the typing form, you must enter the addresses of the pages of the users to whom you are going to send notifications, this is done as follows:
@id1, @roseins, @id76584372
I think the point is clear. So, using this method we made an appeal to users, and then, from a new line, you can enter absolutely any text, links, attach attachments, and so on.
In this way, you can send spam to users with virtually no consequences, because hardly anyone will guess that it was you, but for security reasons, I advise you to use this method on fake pages, and not on the main one.
