Several pieces of content have been published, claiming to offer cars for sale, which are offered at a discount, to those interested.
These claims were published through three sponsored content pieces on Facebook, from the pages: “Market Mix” (September 12), “It's a Deal” (September 14) and “A new beginning” (September 15).
What is the truth?
Hibrid.info has found that it is unknown which businesses are offering the presented offer, while the sites that have published this content are suspicious.
Links are also attached to the contents which open after clicking on the images (see here, here and here).
Hibrid.info has found that after clicking on the links included in the published images, the displayed websites do not present the opportunities offered in the content published on Facebook and do not provide any information on the businesses or companies offering the opportunity in question.
In the spaces of the pages, you can see several options that, after clicking on them, send you to the pages of foreign companies, which are not in the Albanian language.
The credibility of the domain of these websites has been verified through the platform that assesses the credibility of websites, "Scam-detector.com", which shows that the websites checked have a low level of credibility and are suspicious (see here, here and here).
Hibrid.info has checked the publishing pages of this content, which have noticed a small number of posts and a lack of information about the profile of these pages (see here, here and here).
Analyze:
Albanian-language content claiming to offer cars for sale at a discount is suspicious.
Information is lacking on who offers this opportunity and content publishers are suspicious.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses the content as "Fraud".
Reasoning:
The “Deception” rating is given to informational content that is manipulated in terms of visual (deepfake, cheapfake), audio, or textual content to deceive the audience. This form of deception is usually used to produce false and manipulated content.
