A new hoax is currently being released on Greek websites. It refers to the reappearance of a riverfighter who had disappeared in the Bermuda triangle.
The disseminated article states:
"The Cuban Coast Guard announced on 18/5/15 that they had located an unmanned vessel sailing to Havana.
Do you think the ship is the SS Cotopaxi, a steamship that disappeared in December 1925 and has since been associated with the Bermuda Triangle legend.
The Cuban authorities spotted the ship for the first time in 16 May, near a forbidden military area west of Havana. They made many unsuccessful attempts to communicate with the crew and after mobilizing three patrol boats surprised they found that the ship was in fact a steamer of nearly 100 years identified as Cotopaxi.
There was no one on board and the ship seems to have been abandoned for decades, which suggests that this could really be the ship that disappeared in 1925. ”
Of course this is not the case, according to international hoax hunters, the article first appeared on the controversial website World News Daily Report. The website in question is known for spreading fake news. If you read them conditions of using the website state:
"World News Daily Report is a news and political satire web publication, which may or may not use real names, often in semi-real or mostly fictitious ways. All news articles contained within worldnewsdailyreport.com are fiction, and presumably fake news. Any resemblance to the truth is purely coincidental, except for all references to politicians and/or celebrities, in which case they are based on real people, but still based almost entirely in fiction.”
From time to time this site has published incredibly false stories (hoax) with witnesses promising to see miracles of Jesus, the appearance of a prehistoric shark in Pakistan, and much more.
