Fake advertising on social media

2 july 2025

Fake ads are appearing on social media channels Facebook and Instagram, unlawfully using the name and logo of UZ Leuven. There is no link between the hospital and this account, this person or the product on offer. UZ Leuven therefore distances itself from these messages and is taking the necessary steps to report the account to Meta. Our legal department has also been informed. 

What can you do? 

Have you come across one of these messages? You can report them under the category 'Fake, fraude or incorrect information'. 

How can you recognise fake advertising?
