A short text and photos of traffic accidents are posted on Facebook about this alleged accident:
“INFO SERIOUS ACCIDENT
The accident that occurred in our city today has caused numerous victims and deaths, including a 7-year-old child. Police are looking for the families of some of the victims. Here you will find photos of the victims and videos of the condition of the area…”

What is noticeable here is that the same text is posted with different images.
The emergency vehicles don't necessarily look like those in this country. The location information is also more than just vague with “in our city”. A quick Google image search shows that one photo is from Montreal, Canada , the other is from Saint-Maur, France .
However, the link to the details is the same for both postings.
Something can't be right here
Correct. If you just think about it for a moment, you would also read or hear such a call from the police in regional media, since it is about “our city”. But there are only these Facebook posts about this “serious accident with numerous victims and deaths”.
If you let yourself be tempted to click on the link to be helpful or curious, you will be asked to log in to Facebook. The alarm bells should be ringing here at the latest. On the one hand, if you have seen these posts, you are already on the platform and logged in, but on the other hand, you should also pay attention to the URL of the page! Because it is a fake Facebook login page:

If you enter your login details here, you will pass them on to the fraudsters behind this false report.
Conclusion
You should be suspicious from the outset of reports that are not published by official authorities and involve calls for witnesses or assistance after accidents. If the information is as inaccurate as in this text, one can assume that there is no official call behind it.
Such reports appear from time to time. Train accidents , plane crashes and even traffic accidents are then invented in order to steal people's personal data.
Therefore, always check whether there is any truth to the story. The more spectacular it sounds, the greater the likelihood that fraudsters are at work - as in this case: This traffic accident is fictitious!
