When you read a Facebook story that tells you to share this piece of important information with ALL your friends, contacts etc it is often about a scam or hoax or whatever… check your facts before reposting.
Some of this so called information has been doing the rounds since the dawn of the internet!
Pick a sentence from the post and do a quick google search.
There are websites dedicated to explaining these myths and internet legends. Hoax Slayer has a section dedicated to Facebook scams & hoaxes. Also, if you have time, it makes for hilarious reading. Another one is Snopes.com
Next time someone tells you that Facebook are going to start charging or turn the clock on your iPhone back to 1970 for a retro look or that "famous Person" is moving to your town you can check your facts before reposting to all your Facebook contacts.
