style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Detailed Analysis:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nMany \u00a0Facebook users will \u00a0have likely encountered at least one \u00a0post that threatens bad luck if they do not type &#8216;amen&#8217; and hit the &#8216;like&#8217; button. There are many variations, but the posts generally feature an image of a person with a series injury or, very often, a sick baby.  \u00a0The posts suggest \u00a0that people who do not participate will suffer bad luck for a specified number of years.  \u00a0Many put \u00a0this supposed punishment period at 7 years. But, some suggest much longer time scales. One I saw recently promised a whopping 68 years \u00a0of bad luck for those users terrible enough not to type amen and click like on the post.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the &#8216;bad luck&#8217; threat, which is apparently taken \u00a0seriously by a surprisingly large number of people, the messages imply that your &#8216;like&#8217; and &#8216;amen&#8217; will somehow help the pictured person. Some versions drive home the point by claiming that those who scroll down without participating must be heartless or cruel people who do not care about others.<\/p>\n<p>But, of course, the only cruel and heartless people in this scenario are the vile and morally bankrupt individuals who create and post these messages in the first place. These callous users \u00a0wilfully steal images of injured people or sick babies from other websites and use them in their disgraceful scam posts. Of course, these people care not one iota for the welfare of the people whose images they steal.<\/p>\n<p>So, \u00a0why, you might ask, would they do such a thing? Sadly, they do so just to promote their Facebook Profile or Page.  \u00a0Once one of these fake posts is launched, it will be spread very quickly across the network by well-meaning, albeit somewhat gullible and \u00a0superstitious, users. The perpetrators will thus \u00a0gain many new friends, followers or Page likes which will allow them to get the dodgy material they later post seen by a considerably larger audience. The Facebook Pages or accounts might also be sold on the black market to other scammers.<\/p>\n<p>The people who use such tactics have no place on our social networks and deserve only our contempt and derision. Please do not help these scammers by liking and commenting on their posts. Remember that participating will not help the pictured people in any way whatsoever.<\/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 class=\"date\">Last updated: \u00a0February 6, 2017<br \/>\nFirst published: April 12, 2016<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
