Content in Albanian is being distributed on social media Facebook claiming pension increases and supplements.
This content was found published on September 4 and 11 by Facebook pages "Worry-free life”And“End Services".
The truth?
After research conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that there is no planned increase in pensions for this year.
Link to the post published on Facebook by the pages "Worry-free life”And“End Services".
After clicking on the links provided in these posts, web pages open, which lack the name of the institution, organization, or business it represents.
These websites display several sections, which in most cases, when clicked, redirect to external websites, but which have nothing to do with the Government of Kosovo or any of its decisions (see here and here).
Hibrid.info has checked these websites using the website credibility platform, “ScamDoc.com”. According to data from this platform, the credibility of these websites is assessed to be very low and it is not known who is behind them. (see here and here)
In the “About” section of the Worry-free life page, there is no information about its activities (see here). While on the other Fund Services page, an address in the country of China appears (see here)
There is no information about the pension increase on the official website of the Government of Kosovo either. (see here)
Analyze:
Claims that pensions have increased are false.
The publishers of the Facebook announcements are suspicious, while no information has been found published in credible sources regarding the pension increase.
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.
