Auf Facebook kursiert ein Sharepic (hier archiviert) mit einem Foto des Grünen-Politikers Anton Hofreiter und einer vermeintlichen Aussage zu einer deutlichen Erhöhung des Benzinpreises von ihm. Die Forderung, der Preis müsse «auf mindestens sechs bis sieben Euro rauf», wird ihm in dem Beitrag zugeschrieben.

Publisher’s rating: Das «Zitat» sei frei erfunden, teilte die Pressestelle der Grünen-Bundestagsfraktion der Deutschen Presse-Agentur auf Anfrage mit. Es werde seit Jahren immer wieder neu hervorgeholt.

«Erfreuen Sie Ihr Kind mit den Kindersachen»: Mit diesem Satz lädt erneut eine Website Mütter zu einer Umfrage ein - angeblich mit dem Ziel, die Kinderprodukte der Drogeriekette Rossmann zu verbessern. Der Aufruf ist mit dem offiziellen Logo des Unternehmens versehen. Wer bei der Umfrage mitmache, heißt es weiter, erhalte «ein Testpaket für Ihr Kind 100% kostenlos».

Publisher’s rating: Die vermeintlich offizielle Website mit der Umfrage und dem Gewinnspiel darauf ist nicht von Rossmann und unseriös. Wer sich durch die Fragen klickt, erhält dafür keinen Preis von der Drogeriekette.

The claim concerns a website that invited mothers to answer a survey said to improve Rossmann’s children’s products and promised a free test package. The Deutsche Presse-Agentur’s investigation examined that specific purported giveaway website and found it was not an official Rossmann site. The article reports that its address began with “rossmann.website,” whereas Rossmann’s official address was “rossmann.de.” The mismatch in domains is evidence that the survey was not hosted at the retailer’s official web address. The article also checked the site for information identifying its operator. It reports that the giveaway page had no legal notice (“Impressum”), which it describes as a further indication that the page was fake. The article does not present the survey as a genuine Rossmann product-improvement exercise: it says participants who clicked through the questions would not receive a prize from the drugstore chain. The report places the page in a pattern of similar misuse of Rossmann’s branding. It says a nearly identically designed website had made false promises in July, and reports that a company spokesperson had said company logos were repeatedly used without authorization. The article’s stated findings therefore address both the specific site in the claim and the promised reward: the site was not Rossmann’s, and completing its questions would not earn a test package from the retailer.

Ob Schokolade, E-Bikes oder Baby-Artikel: Kaum ein Produkt, mit dem nicht schon für Fake-Gewinnspiele geworben wurde. Nun gaukelt eine Webseite vor, ein Gewinnspiel der Handelskette Aldi Süd und der Getränkemarke «Monster Energy» anzubieten. Der angebliche Lohn: ein «Mini-Kühlschrank mit Energiegetränken».

Publisher’s rating: Die Umfrage mit dem angeblichen Gewinnspiel stammt weder von Aldi Süd noch von der Getränkemarke «Monster Energy» und ist auch nicht seriös. Niemand, der an der Umfrage teilnimmt, erhält dafür einen Gewinn von den beiden Unternehmen.

The review examined a website promoting a supposed Aldi Süd and Monster Energy giveaway, with a mini-fridge containing energy drinks offered as the purported prize. Its investigation found that the giveaway was not presented on either company’s own web address: the offer’s address began “energydrink.online,” which the review says did not match the addresses of Aldi Süd or Monster Energy. The review also checked the site for an imprint. It reported that no imprint was present, although, as the article explains, commercially operated websites are generally required to provide one with information such as the operator’s address and contact details. The missing imprint was treated as an additional sign that the page was not legitimate. The article further reports that following the survey questions redirected visitors to another website, where the supposed giveaway was suddenly attributed to a different company. Taken together, the mismatched web address, absent imprint, and change in the named company support the review’s conclusion that this was not a genuine joint promotion and that survey participants would not receive a prize from Aldi Süd or Monster Energy.

سوفت بنك تفقد 13 مليار دولار من قيمتها السوقية بسبب أسهم التكنولوجيا الأمريكية

Publisher’s rating: تراجعت أسهم مجموعة سوفت بنك بنسبة 3% يوم الأربعاء، لتواصل خسائرها هذا الأسبوع التي محت حوالي 13 مليار دولار من رأسمالها السوقي بالتزامن مع قلق المستثمرين حيال انكشاف المجموعة على أسهم شركات التكنولوجيا الأمريكية الآخذة في الهبوط. وبذلك تبلغ خسائر سهم سوفت بنك 10 % منذ أن قالت مصادر لرويترز ووسائل إعلام أخرى في أواخر الأسبوع الماضي إن الشركة اليابانية راهنت بمبالغ كبيرة على مشتقات أسهم مرتبطة بشركات تكنولوجيا.
