Social media users
What Is It
A scam or hoax that claims Facebook will no longer be free
What Are They After
Facebook hoaxes and scams have been around probably as long as the platform itself. In the case of hoaxes, the idea seems to be nothing more than a weird joke. But scams are a whole different problem, and they target users’ information, account access, contacts list, and even money.
How Can You Avoid Scams Around Facebook Subscription Fees
- Facebook is free for individuals to use, and its Support Page says that it always will be.
- Yes, there are paid options like advertisements, but even businesses can have a free page.
- Anyone who tells you to pay money, share the post, or send them information is not to be trusted.
