Another sick prank using a baby is doing the rounds on Facebook. Fraudsters once again try to cheat them users of Facebook, to get them likes, claiming that Facebook and CNN will donate the money to cover the child's medical expenses.
The hoax was detected by Hoax Slayer, and says something like this: “Please don't ignore it! His parents can't afford the surgery, so Facebook and CNN pay half the cost. 1 like - $ 1. 1comment - 10 $. 1share - $ 100 ”
Of course, CNN and Facebook do not give money, regardless of the comments, share or likes that the publication has. The goal of the scammers is to pick up likes that they can later use for promotional purposes. We have also encountered the phenomenon of selling such websites.
You should also know that the photo with the sick baby has been published by a blog back at 2012.
If you encounter such messages, do not like and do not play them. Just make a reference to Facebook, although the social network does not always remove similar pages.
