Suspicious portals, as well as some pages and groups on social networks, often publish articles and posts with fabricated stories just to benefit from clicks.
Such are also publications that claim to present an event, not very common, such as the birth of children after several years of marriage of a couple. Such a post, naturally arouses emotion in readers, taking into account the sensitivity of the event, which in these cases is not an authentic story.
In most cases, the creators of these articles mention surnames such as "the Gashi family", avoiding full identification, and post photos borrowed from the internet.
With this fake news, they try to use all the possibilities of manipulating and disinforming the public, just to monetize clicks.
This phenomenon is quite frequent and we encounter such news every day on these dubious Albanian-language portals.
One of the original texts of this type that was distributed by several portals:
Oh God This Is A Blessed Day For Me And My Family, After 9 Years Of Marriage May Allah Grant Me 2 Twin Boys Who Is Wishing Me
Oh my god, this is a blessed day for me and my family. After 9 years of marriage, Allah blessed me with 2 twin boys. Whoever wishes, may Allah give him what he lacks.
Something amazing happened in the Haradinaj family. After 9 years of marriage, God blessed them with children who were disappointed in life. But with what happened, they remain surprised and excited by what happened..

In most cases, the same photo and the same text are used to describe different events. What changes is the family, the years, the number of children born, and the like.
However, similar news stories with fabricated content have occurred before. In these texts, history is fabricated, without mentioning any defining facts regarding the alleged events.
