Even Blendi Fevziu falls prey to false advertisements on social networks
Bledi Fevziu

False marketing, aimed at selling certain medications, has become a serious concern on social media.

The latest incarnation is advertising a method to restore sight without surgery by means of a fabricated article with invented characters and events, poorly translated text, and photos obtained from the Internet.

A website designed to look like the Facebook profile of journalist Blendi Fevziu's show "Opinion" gives the good news that a student, Albanian above all, has discovered a method for restoring sight at any age. However, anything you click on this page will take you to the product advertised by the article. This part of the site's design shows that it targets especially users who are not very familiar with technology.

The advertising article, to give more credibility to itself, is constructed as an interview with the 'Albanian student', Jakup Cani, who apparently left the entire audience speechless at the Congress of Ophthalmology "held in Europe this year .”

From a simple Google search, it turns out that Jakup Cani is not mentioned anywhere on the Internet, which is doubtful, if he really discovered a revolutionary method for restoring sight, and if he declared this at the Congress of Ophthalmology, taking even a 10-minute round of applause, as the 'article' claims.

"Faktoje" used the photo search engine, TinEye, to find the origin of the photo used by the 'article'. From this search, it turned out that the photo is an illustration photo, which can be downloaded for free for anyone to use.

Surprisingly, although the idea of ​​the 'Albanian student' earned a 10-minute round of applause from European ophthalmologists, the 'article' does not explain how this idea works. He insists on showing how this innovative idea has been 'suppressed' by big pharmaceutical companies for the sake of their financial interests.

This tactic is often used in these 'articles' that advertise miracle products hidden in modern pharmaceuticals, which also serves as a convenient reason why they can be purchased just by giving personal information such as name and phone number to a page without any type of online credential.

"Faktoje" has previously refuted an article almost identical to this one, which claimed that an "Albanian student" had invented a revolutionary formula for weight loss, and received a 10-minute round of applause from the European Congress of Endocrinologists. (Faktoje .al)
