Thread: Jayden K Smith hoax

    Jayden K Smith hoax

    I got a message in my FB inbox to not accept a friend request from a "Jayden K Smith" and to forward the message to all of my contacts...I'm glad I read this article first--

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolog...k-hacker-hoax/


    Facebook users are being duped into circulating a hoax message warning them not to accept friend requests from an account called Jayden K Smith.

    The message, being sent via Facebook Messenger, warns that the account is a hacker who "has the system connected to your Facebook account".

    Well-meaning users are sharing the message widely, but as with most viral Facebook posts, the message is a hoax. There is no evidence of any account with the name Jayden K Smith going on sprees of adding users, and even if there were, they would not be able to hack into an account just by becoming a friend.

    I got one the other day sayin to not accept a friend request from Anwar Jitou. Exact same wording as the smith message. I just reply to these silly things with a thumbs up emoji. If you've been on FB for as long as some of these ppl and are still not checking to see if they're a hoax, good grief.

    I got that one too...I did not respond. The person who sent it sends me stuff often I know is just internet junk so I don't ever respond to her messages...PS..she is well meaning....

    Frankly, I'm tired of getting these kind of messages in my inbox. And I'm doubly tired of getting the "send this heart (or whatever love message of the week) to 10 people you love, and send it back to me" messages. Good grief! Don't we have enough stuff going on in our lives?

    Or how about folk tagging you? Where they constantly tag you along with 50 of their friends on just about everything they post.
