LOS ANGELES, Kalifornia (PNN) - April 19, 2020 - A Facebook ad for a company selling face masks claimed all but one member of a Los Angeles family died from COVID-19, but the story, which used a real family’s photos, isn’t true.
The ad claimed that she and her entire family had died, except for the youngest son, after contracting COVID-19 at a church service.
Is anyone else smelling a major lawsuit?
Here’s the photograph used in the ad.
“Who would have the audacity to clearly not know a family and type that they had died?” said Sara Ancich, the mother of the family. “It’s on the forefront of everybody’s mind in the news and how quickly it is taking lives. It could so clearly be true to people who saw it.”
