“100 percent not true”

By now, you have probably received the viral voice note regarding a Tinder catfish.

In the WhatsApp voice note, a woman tells a story she heard from a friend about someone who had been catfished by Bertie Ahern.

The woman agreed to go for dinner with a man, having matched with him on Tinder.

The man in question warned the woman that he was not the person in the pictures, because he was a public figure.

Off she went on the date regardless, and was allegedly met by Bertie Ahern in the restaurant.

A spokesperson for former Taoiseach and Fianna Fáil leader Bertie Ahern has responded to the recording, which has gone viral.

The spokesperson told our pals at JOE that the recording is “complete rubbish” and it is “absolutely 100% not true.”

“It’s unfair that anyone would be subjected to this in any walk of life and something should be done to protect people from this sort of thing.”
