Fake News Alerts – January 16, 2024

We’re here at DRPS PHCA to help fight against several fake news and scams. We have seen these fake news posts on several groups online, including an Instagram ad that claims to be endorsed by a popular tech reviewer on the internet. These two fake news alerts that you should beware of:

A certain Facebook Group Post from “Renzo” has claimed that we, DRPS PHCA, has announced or posted on our social media accounts that GMA’s TiktoClock, will be moving it’s timeslot to 22h15, with Saksi will also changing it’s timeslot to 23h00, and this will take effect by January 29, 2024.

OUR VERDICT: FALSE.
We, DRPS PHCA, as well as GMA, GMA Integrated News, and TiktoClock, hasn’t posted any news that TiktoClock and Saksi will make some changes to it’s timeslots by January 29, 2024. Thus, this is FALSE and MISLEADING. To date, for TiktoClock, it is been broadcast on weekdays at 11h15 before Tahanang Pinakamasaya!, while Saksi will also air on weekdays at 22h50. If you have seen any claims like these, they are FALSE and MISLEADING.

There is a Facebook and Instagram Ad from “Unbox Diaries Daily Vlogs” Facebook Page and “unboxdiariesdaily3” Instagram Account has been advertised a post, claiming that a dropshipped smartwatch named “Avafit” has been endorsed by Unbox Diaries, with the smartwatch has also claimed that it has a titanium frame, OLED Display, and many other features as mentioned on their ad.

OUR VERDICT: FALSE AND SCAM.
If you previously went to a website that relates to the ad, or if you’ve just bought one from there, that is a SCAM, because if your item was arrived upon ordering, you will receive a wrong item that is probably “Made in China” (sometimes the look and/or the specifications are different than from the original), and it was meant to be a “dropshipped” product being sold through AliExpress or Alibaba, an e-commerce website that were originated from China.

In addition, there is NO SUCH NEWS from Unbox Diaries that he has endorsed or reviewed the said smartwatch, which means this news is FAKE, citing for the spelling for SmartWatch is badly written, with the said post’s photo was photoshopped to make this something real.

If you received similar social media ads like this, you should DEFINITELY DON’T FALL FOR THIS as this is a SCAM PRODUCT and it is also a FAKE NEWS for using the name of Unbox Diaries on that particular ad.
