A network of Facebook pages using fake content and manipulated images managed to viralize an alleged “secret donation” of 4 million dollars attributed to Călin Georgescu. Behind the posts is a monetization mechanism based on ads and online traffic.
On May 7, the “Voce Națională” page published a collage in which Călin Georgescu appeared next to images of children, accompanied by a text claiming that he had secretly donated 4 million dollars for needy children in Romania, writes G4Media.
The post stated that the gesture was made “without anyone knowing“, on his birthday, and was accompanied by emotional messages. In reality, the images with the children are not from Romania, but from areas in Africa and Asia.
“HE GAVE EVERYTHING WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING!” Călin Georgescu left the whole world speechless after he secretly donated the full amount of 4,000,000 dollars on his birthday, to help homeless and needy children in Romania”. write in that post.
A second page, “Voice of Power”features George Simion in the foreground and also publishes AI footage of him appearing alongside Georgescu in scenarios fabricated to increase online traffic.
According to the cited source, the posts are not isolated, but part of a larger online monetization mechanism. Users are directed to external sites where advertisements are displayed and revenue is generated from the number of hits. The pages were allegedly promoted by paid advertisements pointing to a possible “sponsor” in Vietnam, presented in the form of a children’s playground, used as a front for online activity.
