For Pete's sake (and mine) puh-leeze quit clicking on these scams.


If you see a post about sick kids with rare cancer who lost all their family to a horrible house fire and if you don’t like it then 100 more children will get cancer from terrorists – it’s not real. Don’t click on it.

if you see a post that says type this word in and see what happens.. DON"T!

Here's why...

It's a scam. We've all known it for quite some time... but here is a concise summary of how and why.

Cuz I wouldn't do that to youse guys.... confused

Even if the links owner is using this to get edge... who cares?
It makes people aware of the methodology and maybe we'll see a few less of these annoyances.
