Some high-profile exploding Note 7 cases are bogus
 

Nearly a third are are made up

Earlier this week we upset a lot of people by questioning how many of these so called exploding Samsung Note 7 cases were true. Samsung said that so far it has had 26 high profile cases which have proved to be false.

To put this number into perspective, according to the Tame Apple Press there have been 92 incidents in the US, plus at least 17 in Korea, 1 in Taiwan and 2 in Australia.)
Samsung said that in the US nine false cases were reported. There were three in South Korea, two in France, and one each from the UK, Canada, Singapore, Philippines, Turkey, Vietnam, Croatia, Romania, Iraq, Lebanon, the UAE, and Czech Republic.

Out of the 26 reports, the South Korean tech giant said that in 12 cases they found no fault with the devices. In seven cases, the reported victim disappeared and in another seven incidents, the consumer cancelled the report or alleged that they threw away the device.
