The Rip Off Britain team is ready to tackle the issues you feel affect you the most.
On our programme on Monday 25th November 2024, Rip Off Britain investigated the hoax Facebook posts plaguing social media. We found posts requesting help to find the owner of an injured dog and asking for the posts to be widely shared. The posts had been shared in local groups across the country, and often had hundreds of likes and comments. However, the images had been taken from an article that appeared in the news years earlier, with a totally different, fake, back story accompanying them.
Most, but not all, people genuinely trying to find a lost family member or pet are seeking information, so would likely want to allow people to comment.To check, highlight some of the text, and copy and paste it yourself into Facebook’s search function at the top of the page. If posts with identical or almost-identical text appear, even with different images, it’s likely a hoax.You may want to attempt to see if the image has been taken from elsewhere.
