Just had another one on Facebook about hackers taking over your account to post offensive things. Ten seconds on Google confirms that this is a hoax that has been circulating since 2011. MIL reposted that ridiculous warning about thieves spraying paper with chloroform and teling you it's perfume, and some other made up rubbish about the number of weekends in August, which also five seconds research tells you is fake.
Why do people mindlessly repost and circulated this bollocks? Area they really so undiscerning that they just believe whatever they are told? It really winds me up up and I have to fight the urge to repy telling them they are muppets.
