“But if he denied me first, you don’t think I have every right to deny him too. What do you think: Is the father the one who begets or the one who breeds?”, Yuseff said in a video posted on his TikTok account in response to a user who asked him why he denied that the singer-songwriter was his father.

In the same way, the young man usually uploads videos singing Silvestre Dangond’s songs, responding to messages from users telling you that you look like the singer and that you should get a DNA testbut others comment that…

A Facebook post claiming to be searching for a missing man who has dementia is a hoax. 

The post, which appeared in a buy-and-sell group for Scunthorpe in Lincolnshire, says: “NOT YET FOUND!! #Scunthorpe Mr.Jones aged 81 drove out with a dog Rex and he still hasn’t returned. He doesn’t know where he’s going, he has dementia. There is a silver alert activated on him. Please help bump this post so we can get him home safely.”

Full Fact has written before about a similar hoax post using the same photo, which has been traced back to the US and does not show a man called Mr Jones. 

There are many signs that this post is not genuine. Firstly, Full Fact traced the photo showing a man holding a dog to a community Facebook group in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with the original…

A post on Facebook, shared more than 500 times, falsely claims to be from a man named “John Ederson” from Warrington who is looking for his birth parents. 

The post, which was shared to a Warrington “buy and sell” group says: “Hello my name is john Ederson. I was born here  in warrington February 24 in 1979 looking for my birth mother or father. 

“My father’s name is Jonathan M Ederson and my mother’s name Gazelle S Ederson she was only 17 at time of my birth. My father used to be a mechanic and my mother used to work at a supermarket. That’s all info I have. Please bump this post and help me reunite with my family[sic].” 

This is not a real appeal. Besides the fact that the name of the profile that posted the appeal is not “John Ederson”, both…

Having a dinner party is a great way to bring your friends together and relax at home while enjoying delicious food and wine. It’s much more affordable and convenient than going out, as you don’t have to spend money on transportation or deal with slow service and extra charges.

However, one guest had an unpleasant surprise when they were asked to pay for the ingredients per person, even though they had brought a bottle of wine and were invited to the party.

This incident was shared on the online forum Mumsnet.

A man wrote, “We were invited to a friend’s house for dinner. Took a bottle of good wine with us, we wouldn’t ever go empty-handed. We had a good meal, but they sent us a message after asking for money for each individual! This seemed…

A number of posts on Facebook wrongly claim to have identified a Metropolitan Police officer who attended an incident in London on 7 May where two dogs were shot dead by police. These posts have been shared thousands of times. 

The posts, which have also appeared on Twitter, compare two images—on the left a blurry photo of a police officer holding a gun, and to the right a clearer portrait of a man. 

However these are not the same man. The Metropolitan Police has confirmed that the man facing the camera in the clearer photograph on the right-hand side of the post is not a police officer and had no involvement with the incident. 

Full Fact has also spoken to the wrongly-identified man, who told us that he has never worked for the police force, lives in Nottingham…
