You may have seen a post similar to this floating about Facebook today…
THANK YOU, MARK ZUCKERBERG, for your forward-thinking generosity! And congrats on becoming a dad!
Mark Zuckerberg has announced that he is giving away $45 billion of Facebook stock. What you may not have heard is that he plans to give 10% of it away to people like YOU and ME! All you have to do is copy and paste this message into a post IMMEDIATELY. At midnight PST, Facebook will search through the day’s posts and award 1000 people with $4.5 million EACH as a way of saying thank you for making Facebook such a powerful vehicle for connection and philanthropy. 😎
It is an absolute load of rubbish, a hoax, untrue, lies. Whatever you want to call it, $4.5 Million will not be given away at midnight. Not a single cent will.
Don’t feed the trolls and don’t share such nonsense on your Wall News Feed.
