Description
Facebook is no stranger to chain messages and other kinds of spam, which frequently circulate on the platform. Sometimes, that spam is particularly harmful, spreading phishing links and malicious software.
One such message spreading in January 2024 appears to mourn someone’s death. While the exact text varies, the post typically says something along the lines of “I can't believe he’s gone. I'll miss him so much” followed by crying emojis and a link to another Facebook post. Usually, multiple people are tagged in the post, likely making them wonder if someone really died or if they’re the target of a scam.
