The Free Rice Delivery
A message about a free bansos rice delivery reached a village WhatsApp group at six in the morning. By noon around sixty people were waiting outside an office that had never announced it. The message had been forwarded eleven times before it arrived, and nobody in the group knew who wrote it.
QUESTIONS TO DISCUSS
- Who wrote this, and what would they gain from it moving?
- What would have been easy to check before walking over?
- Why did it travel faster than the correction that followed?

The Voice on the Phone
A woman received a call from her son’s number. His voice asked for money urgently and told her not to hang up. She sent it. Her son had not called — his voice had been taken from a video he posted publicly two months earlier.
QUESTIONS TO DISCUSS
- What made it convincing — the sound, or the urgency?
- What could the family have agreed on beforehand that would have caught this?
- Which of your own recordings are public right now?

Two Testimonials and a Bottle
A herbal remedy circulated in a lansia group with two video testimonials. Both speakers were real people describing real relief. Neither video mentioned that both had also been prescribed medication by a clinic that month.
QUESTIONS TO DISCUSS
- Is a true statement enough to make a claim true?
- Who benefits if these two videos travel and the clinic’s part doesn’t?
- What would you need to know before recommending it to a friend?
