15 People Caught Up In Some Strange Lies Online

Though many of us try our best to be honest, or at least not make everything up, this isn't the case with everyone. There are a lot of people who enjoy lying online, and they do so pretty excessively. It's actually kind of amazing what people come up with, because it ranges from completely unbelievable to complete karma-farming nonsense. Fortunately, there are some people out there who can see through the lies, and it's always satisfying to see them call out the fake news out there.

Consider this a cautionary tale — lies have a way of being exposed, especially with devoted online sleuths. Weirdly enough, it's not just individuals doing this for social media attention, but even large brands and news platforms. If you're ever tired of seeing nonsense online, enjoy a few of the times it was exposed for all to see. Here are fifteen people who made up something ridiculous and were called out for it on social media.

Morally Superior Person Reviews Oddity Shop

2 years ago Store is really cool and unique. However this place is full of clearly farmed furs and other animal products - LOTS. Simply wont ever put money into a place that supports this, so its a shame! Ditch the unnecessary furs and animal products. Its reading very careless, cruel, outdated, greedy, and irresponsible. Shopping local is important, but so is making responsible choices. 5 Fae's Cabinet (Owner) 2 years ago I'm sorry that you didn't take the time to ask our staff how our furs are obtained. If you would have, you would know that are furs come ethically sourced or are roadkill not farmed. It's really unfortunate when closed minded individuals automatically assume how things are without taking the time to ask the proper questions. I appreciate your business, but next you might want to take a step back and ask questions before accusing or falsely making statements that are incorrect.
