The &#8216;R.I.P Mr. T&#8217; post features a photograph of Mr T along with the caption &#8216;1952 &#8211; 2016&#8217;.  \u00a0The post asks that you show your respect by sharing to let people know about the actor&#8217;s passing. It also asks that you like the post if you liked Mr. T.<\/p>\n<p>However, the US actor and wrestler, perhaps best known for his role as tough guy \u00a0B. A. Baracus in the 80&#8217;s TV series &#8216;The A Team&#8217;, is not dead. There are no credible news or entertainment reports that support the claim that Mr. T has died. In fact, the star is <a title=\"Mr. T on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mrt?lang=en\">alive and well<\/a> and recently <a title=\"Happy Birthday! Mr. T Turns 64 Today\" href=\"http:\/\/comicbook.com\/popculturenow\/2016\/05\/21\/happy-birthday-mr-t-turns-64-today\/\">celebrated his 64th birthday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So, what might have prompted someone to create and post this false \u00a0R.I.P. message? Sadly, the \u00a0false death post is just a callous and underhand method of promoting a particular Facebook profile. By creating the fake post and then asking people to share and like it, the perpetrator&#8217;s public \u00a0Facebook profile will be seen by an increasing number of people and he will thus gain many new followers. \u00a0 \u00a0The post has also migrated to Twitter, thereby giving the \u00a0perpetrator even more undeserved attention.<\/p>\n<p>Such fake R.I.P like-farming posts are an increasing trend on Facebook.  \u00a0Don&#8217;t help these immoral users by liking and sharing their bogus material.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that, if a celebrity really does die, his or her passing will always be extensively covered by the mainstream media. Thus, searching \u00a0an online news aggregator such as Google News should quickly reveal if a post about the demise of a celebrity is true.<\/p>\n<p>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"date\">Last updated: May 24, 2016<br \/>\nFirst published: May 24, 2016<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
