Okay, I don’t want to speak ill of the dead, but Facebook users really need to wake up!
It is entirely possible that some troubled teenager, committed suicide after someone posted something on Facebook.
FACEBOOK ALERT: The link circulating around Facebook “This Girl Killed Herself After Dad Posted This On Her Wall” is a SCAM, even potentially dangerous.
You may have even seen it recently, even though it is said to have occurred years ago! It was already out this year around August/September.
How do I know it is a scam?
