Fake News about Howie Mandel arrest


I saw this fake article pretending to be from CBC about Howie Mandel claiming he had been been arrested stating "The incident occurred during the broadcast of Jimmy Kimmel Live, where Howie Mandel accidentally disclosed his additional source of income. Although this income is legally earned, authorities fear that the disclosure of this information could lead to widespread layoffs, as it reveals a lucrative loophole."

As soon as I read that I said this sounds like a scam. Then I checked the URL and said yup. It uses CBC's logo and is impersonating CBC but it's on a fake url. 

Cracked is reporting that "Crypto Grifters Want Us to Think That Michael Cera and Howie Mandel Were Arrested."

Buzz Feed News is reporting that "Howie Mandel Says He Is "Fine" After Teens On TikTok Posted Genuine Concern That He Was Being Held Captive." Howie Mandel was quoted as saying "If I was held captive — and I’ve never been held captive before — I would imagine they would not allow me on TikTok."

This other one is an ad on X fraudulently using the CBC logo:

That's fake news about fake news or fake news impersonating a fake news outlet.
