Half past seven meteorologist known from the program Anniina Valtonen35, warns his social media followers about fake news circulating about him.
The meteorologist says Instagram– in his stories that there is a fake nude photo of him circulating on social media. Along with the picture is written “The whole of Finland is shocked – Now Anniina Valtonen is in big trouble”. A photo of a politician is also attached to the fake news Elina from Valtose.
Iltalehti reached out to Valtonen, who says that he found out about it through private messages sent by, among others, his colleagues. According to Valtonen’s understanding, it is a scam account that wants to spread viruses or take money from people’s accounts with the help of fake news and fake pictures.
– I don’t know whose woman’s body it is [kuvassa]but not mine. I never published a picture of myself napping on the internet or anywhere in general, he stresses.
Valtonen says that his partner urged him to report the fraudulent accounts in question. However, Valtonen cannot report fraudulent accounts himself, because they have apparently prevented his social media profile from seeing them.
That’s why he emphasizes to everyone that fake news should not be believed, and that they are really doing well with their partner and child
– Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do here but tell people that this is complete potash. All you can do is wait for them to get bored and stop. Those accounts must be reported – that’s really the only thing that can be done, the meteorologist states.

This is not the first time that false information has been spread about Valtose. The meteorologist says that he heard about the fake news earlier, according to which the police arrested him during a live broadcast.
For Valtos, the phenomenon is frustrating.
– These are so blatantly complete bullshit, it even makes me laugh. From what I have read in private messages, fortunately the Finns are such a smart people that they have immediately noticed their [uutisten] to be a lie. That’s how good media skills Finns have. Apparently they even know me that well, the meteorologist states.
– If they go fishing in people’s bank accounts in my name, then I will start to worry. Then I’ll probably have to get a professional to help, he thinks.
Despite the sad situation, Valtonen also finds a humorous side in it.
– That’s how bad this is [alastonkuva] has been edited, so you can see that it has been edited. I’m flattered that someone imagines my body to look like that. Oh If only it looked like that, he laughs at the end.
