On August 3, 2014, we found a couple of photos of a mermaid that was allegedly caught uploaded by a Facebook user. But just today, we received many messages from our concerned netizens saying that this is not real.

We then began our investigation and further research on this matter. We just found out that these mermaid photos were fake that were shared over 13,000 times in the social media platforms. They are not real.
