It was covered by many media outlets including Sky, the BBC, the Guardian etc.
But now 'Phuc Dat Bich' bragged in a new Facebook post claiming the whole thing was a fake.
He wrote: “Facebook needs to understand that it is utterly impossible to legitimise a place where there will always be pranksters and tricksters.
“What started as a joke between friends, became a prank that made a fool out of the media and brought out the best in the people who reached out to me.
"It didn’t bring out the anger and darkness that we often see on the internet, but it brought a levity and humanity in a time we need it most.

“Out of this ordeal I’ve concluded not to trust the credibility of the media, it’s twisted by the hungry journalists who mask the truth... It goes to show that an average Joe like myself can con the the biggest news sources with ease.”
He also revealed his real name as “Joe Carr”—or “joker”.
He added that "I've never thought that my post would get this sort of exposure."
