Outline:
Circulating Facebook message claims that Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg is giving away $45 billion worth of Facebook stock and that 10% of this money will be given to ordinary Facebook users. It claims that, if you copy and repost the same message, you may be selected as the recipient of $4.5 million. Supposedly, come midnight, Facebook will search through the day’s posts and award 1000 people with $4.5 million each as a way of saying thanks.
Brief Analysis:
The message is just a ridiculous hoax. Reposting the message will give you precisely zero chance of getting any money from Mark. Reposting may, however, make you appear rather gullible and foolish in front of your Facebook friends. Zuckerberg did announce in late 2015 that he was donating almost all of his Facebook stock to good causes. However, he is certainly not giving away $45 million to random Facebook users who post this or any other message.
What the heck ………….I too thought it was a hoax at first but saw this on Good Morning America and the news so I’ll share the post for a cut….
THANK YOU, MARK ZUCKERBERG, for your forward-thinking generosity! And congrats on becoming a dad!
Mark Zuckerberg has announced that he is giving away $45 billion of Facebook stock. What you may not have heard is that he plans to give 10% of it away to people like YOU and ME! All you have to do is copy and paste this message into a post IMMEDIATELY. At midnight PST, Facebook will search through the day’s posts and award 1000 people with $4.5 million EACH as a way of saying thanks!
Worth a shot, why not! Better to be safe than sorry. Especially when this could really take some burdens off. Original Source : http://www.hoax-slayer.net/no-mark-zuckerberg-is-not-giving-millions-of-dollars-to-facebook-users-who-copy-and-paste-a-message/
