Ulitzer95 12,596 Posted December 7, 2021 Hmmm says the account signed up in August 2021, yet it has 15000 followers?! Spam/hoaxer? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,044 Posted December 7, 2021 Might just be a fake account. No blue tick, etc etc I'm making excuses here. I'd have thought a more glowing tribute might be forthcoming and why in the throes of grief get a Tweet out? Pinch of salt til it is verified. (And if it is, expect a PM Grim).

How does an account with no prior posts or likes get that many followers. Is he famous enough to get there if he is genuine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Book 3,556 Posted December 7, 2021 For a few minutes I was really sad and shocked. I once disguised myself as Nana Mouskouri at Carnival (glasses, wig, dress - ready!), and I still have a deep admiration for her. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clorox Bleachman 2,419 Posted December 7, 2021 Come on, guys, his only 5 tweets are very impersonal R.I.P.s to his 'wife' in different languages. Give it 20 minutes before we get the tweet about it being a hoax by that Italian guy. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't wish your job on anyone at the moment, there are so many clinging on by their fingernails, maybe to see Christmas. It's the period between then and New Year I think may be an actual massacre.

It's exactly like the Desmond Tutu death hoax Debenedetti made a couple of months ago. Newly made twitter account, death announced in the first tweet made by that account and a ton of fake followers.

Thats why I always leave it late these days for DDP.That and after entering for 2020 the day before John Lewis announced he had Pancreatic cancer.That being said in 2014 I heard about Schumachers accident just as I was compiling my list and swapped Ariel Sharon out for him so swings and roundabouts I guess. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
