The message is presented as a news snippet that recipients can click to access the full report.<\/p>\n<p>However, the claims in the message are false. Michael Jordan is not dead. The fake death message is just a callous attempt to trick people into visiting \u00a0the spammy website that spawned \u00a0the hoax \u00a0report.<\/p>\n<p>Clicking the link opens a dubious fake-news website that features the same headline as that of the \u00a0circulating social media message. But, the supposed news story is spread over \u00a0six separate webpages that each contain images and short segments of text \u00a0related to Jordan&#8217;s supposed demise. In fact, the sixth and last \u00a0of these webpages actually confesses that the story is just a hoax a via a bogus &#8216;update&#8217; paragraph. But, by the \u00a0time users get to this disclaimer, they will have already been exposed to several pages crammed with suspect \u00a0promotional material and links to third-party websites. In fact, many visitors may not even make it to the sixth page and thus leave still believing that \u00a0Michael Jordan has died.<\/p>\n<p>This \u00a0death hoax is just a revamped version of an earlier hoax that was circulating around November 2015. Again, fake messages about the supposed death of \u00a0Michael Jordan opened spammy clickbait websites.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Death Hoaxes - Celebrity Death Rumours\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/death-hoaxes.shtml\">Celebrity death hoaxes<\/a> are very common and often go viral via social media.
