If curious online users click on the advertisements, they will be taken to the fake news website, where they will be shown false and misleading information about Mr. Lee-Chin.

Again, online users are warned to stay away from fake news website www.swiftcollider.com, because fake news websites help create public mischief, chaos, spread misinformation, and trick online users into visiting phishing, spam, and malicious websites.

We do not know who the owners of the fake news website are because they hide their identities and contact information using Whois Guard. Whois Guard is a service that hides the identity of the owner of a domain or website name. The same service also hides contact information.
