Farce Book

It seems the old 'we're going to delete inactive users accounts' email hoax has once again hit the social networking site Facebook. A ridiculous message being passed around by the usual bunch of gullible people reads:

Attention all Facebook membeRs.

Facebook is recently becoming very overpopulated, There have been many members complaining that Facebook is becoming very slow.Record shows that the reason is that there are too many non-active Facebook members And on the other side too many new Facebook members. We will be sending this messages around to see if the Members are active or not,If you're active please send to other users using Copy+Paste to show that you are active Those who do not send this message within 2 weeks, The user will be deleted without hesitation to create more space, If Facebook is still overpopulated we kindly ask for donations but until then send this message to all your friends and make sure you send this message to show me that your active and not deleted.

Founder of Facebook
Mark Zuckerberg

Obviously, this is yet another junk hoax perpetrated to fool millions of people into blindly sending masses of emails to each other and clogging up the net with yet more crap!

Please... Wake Up!
