Amazon is not giving away parcels of ‘sorted electronics’ for £3

A Facebook post falsely claims that Amazon is giving away parcels of unclaimed electronic appliances “for just £3”. But an Amazon spokesperson confirmed this is not a genuine offer from the retailer. 

The post appeared on a page that was created on the same day the post was shared and has only 10 followers. 

It says: “Amazon is having an urgent sale on various appliances for just £3! The reason is that items that have been in stock for more than 6 months should be disposed of but the company’s management has decided to give the sorted electronics to the people of the UK. The parcel may contain an iPhon Playstation and many other popular items. Follow the link in the comments or below the post and apply! [sic]”

Amazon summit shows thorny challenge for Brazilian COP30 host city

BELEM, Brazil, Aug 10 (Reuters) – Hosting a United Nations climate summit for tens of thousands of people in any city is a daunting task. Doing it in a part of the Amazon rainforest unaccustomed to hordes of visitors will be even harder.

Amazon virtual assistant Alexa does not predict the start of WWIII

Videos circulating online appear to show Amazon’s virtual assistant device, known as Alexa, predicting the start of World War III. But this is not genuine. 

The videos all use the same audio over footage showing different Alexa devices. Alexa is a voice-controlled virtual assistant that can help with tasks such as playing audio, controlling smart home devices and answering questions, among other things.

The videos show someone behind the camera asking the device when WWIII will start. The device responds: “World War III starts on November 23rd, 2023, at 6.05pm, when Russia launches an attack against Germany.”
