What’s going on with Facebook messenger and what should you do?


How many Facebook messages did you get over the weekend?  I probably had about 8.

People are freaking out that their account may be cloned.  The message states, Hi…I actually got another friend request from you yesterday which I ignored so you may want to check your account. Hold your finger on the message until the forward button appears then hit forward and all the people you want to forward it too.

Facebook says not to do as the message states and not to worry, accounts can not be cloned. They can create a new account with your name and picture then send out friend requests.

The message is a hoax and by sharing it, you’re only making it spread faster.

The best thing to do is ignore it and delete it.

This is what is looks like
