In the last two days, the moderator Alketa Vejsiu has posted on social networks a cover of Forbes UK, where she then claims that the magazine she directs has been chosen for an important project where young talents are highlighted.
Journalist Rezearta Çaushaj has contacted Forbes. The email was made available to ZŽRI, where it is said that Forbes has no connection with the so-called "Forbes UK". We do not know if the moderator has fallen prey to any fraud scheme, but the partnership announced with FORBES is fake news.
The news about Alketa was titled: Triple Crown: Queen of TV, Digital Media and Business). While the article did not contain the journalist's name, 'Forbes Staff' did, while at the end of the article, there was a clarification on 'Forbes Staff', which textually read:
'Forbes Staff is a valued member of the prestigious Forbes England team, dedicated to delivering exceptional content and in-depth journalism. With an extensive knowledge of the local business landscape and an unwavering commitment to uncovering compelling stories, Forbes Staff showcases their expertise in the field of business reporting. As a respected and beloved contributor to Forbes England, they provide readers with invaluable perspectives on England's vibrant and dynamic business ecosystem.'

What Alketa said while posting the cover of Forbes UK:
"I'm really happy to be in Forbes UK! The characters in the gallery belong to the big world, big achievements, extraordinary impacts they can have in the world through their voice, and their platforms; I am simply happy and proud to be Albanian, we may be a small country but we have always had big dreams. I have always felt "a citizen of the world" and I have always shown the Albanian passport with pride. I will continue to count stars more than dollars.
Also, @revistaclass_ will be a partner of Forbes in Albania and Kosovo, highlighting other Albanian personalities who deserve attention in international showcases; so this article paves the way for other young Albanians who with their inspiring stories will have their own window (according to some selection criteria by the Editorial Staff of Forbes and @revistaclass)."
Meanwhile, the payment fees for such promotional articles, which cost about 1500 dollars, have appeared on the network. / Voice
