I swear FOUR posts in a row just now on my Facebook newsfeed were cut and pasted hoax bullshit. I've unfollowed a couple of these people too because all they share are memes anyway.
PLEASE for the love of all that is good and holy CHECK THE VERACITY of it before just kneejerk cut and pasting it!! It takes mere seconds and will save everyone annoyance in the long run. Also by doing that you're helping it propagate. Also by sharing and liking that "WIN A FREE CRUISE!" or "WIN FREE FIRST CLASS AIRFARE!". Those are scams. They're like / share farming. When I mention to you it's a scam / hoax don't go "better safe than sorry" or "it can't hurt, right?" because yes it can. You are giving those pages just what they want. Traffic. Edgerank boosting. Don't. Please.
