The claim
Apparently Andrea Berg died in hospital at the age of 56.
Our conclusion
This claim is false. The pop singer is very active on social media and, among other things, promotes her upcoming tour here.
In recent weeks there have been increasing reports of celebrities who have allegedly died. Including Angelo Kelly , Maite Kelly, Kerstin Ott, Jürgen Drews and also Michael Schumacher .
Now Andrea Berg is said to have been hit
There are currently posts circulating on Facebook in which Andrea Berg is falsely declared dead. She died in a hospital.
The text of these posts is always the same: “A few minutes ago”, “8 minutes ago”, “30 minutes ago”. This is probably an argument that no one has noticed anything about it yet. The media would soon report it, but you would be one of the first to find out.
The click to the supposed report
If you click on this post, you will be taken to a page that is designed like a news portal. There are reports of deaths of celebrities here. You can also find a video about the death of Andrea Berg here. It conveys information about the singer - spoken by a computer voice. But no word about her death or any previous illness that would explain hospitalization.
The process is the same as other hoaxes about celebrity deaths .
It is still unclear what lies behind these intentionally derived clicks to YouTube. Users are never asked to enter any data, which would constitute a phishing trap. For example, no pop-ups that could contain spyware or malware open.
Conclusion
In the case of Andrea Berg, the report of her death is simply false.
on her Facebook page and, among other things, promotes her upcoming tour here.
Even on her official website there is no word about hospital or death.
