Embarrassment on News 13: An employee who worked at the company for a week turned out to be an impostor. Immediately after her identity was revealed, she was fired.
According to a report by Ran Booker on the Ynet website, the person who exposed the scam was one of the participants in the reality show "Big Brother" - Avraham Eklom.
He said that he recently received a well-informed request from News 13, who offered to share important information with him.
The two exchanged several messages, but Eklum suspected something was wrong.
Initially, he decided to check whether she was a real employee and arrived unannounced at the company's offices to check if she was telling the truth. He did indeed discover the woman who had contacted him there.
Despite this, he continued to make inquiries, and made sure to draw the attention of the company's managers to the employee.
He later learned that this was an employee who had only been employed by the company for one week, and during that time she had contacted a number of celebrities with the aim of passing on information she had discovered while working.
"Let's say I saved the channel from a worker who could have caused them a mess on an abnormal scale," Eklom told Ynet.
News 13 reported: "We did indeed fall victim to an impostor, who, fortunately, was immediately exposed - and fired before she could cause any damage.".
