Social Media Flooded with False Reports of Missing Man

Currently, social media is flooded by reports in various states, such as Alabama, Mississippi, Arizona, or Kentucky, that his wife and children miss this Pennsylvania resident. Unfortunately, this man, a father and a husband, was discovered dead in April. According to the police, his car was found sinking in a river right after, the first information was disseminated. It was reported to the approximate location. Brighton Township Police Department in the Beaver County obligated this man’s victim that he was gone.

Subsequently, several threatening messages, cloaked as reports, appeared on some sites indicating that this person went missing. At the same time, some “admins” of the unregistered pages announced that they themselves were his wife and daughter and reported the loss of a loved one. Fortunately, these posts and their replications in several states turned out to be false, and in this case, the fraudsters took advantage of the missing person’s information. It is evident that the purpose of promoting this topic can only be one – to start a dispute and a schematic answer to someone’s other questions. More importantly, these reports are made to make people share the personal data of different types. It is crucial not to disseminate such information and ask social media users not to repost it.

Therefore, the primary goal of the community should be to make another person avoid sharing different fake reports that can be evidenced and then reported to break one’s personal information not to cause ominous defamation of the deceased person, mourned by his wife and daughter.
