Facebook charging hoax on the rise


Facebook users are facing a new hoax claiming that the social networking giant may charge their users unless they forward a message before midnight.

Duped users are sharing the message with their online friends, believing it will help them avoid charges of between $3.99 and $9.99 per month. 

   FACEBOOK JUST RELEASED THEIR PRICE GRID FOR MEMBERSHIP. $9.99 PER 
   MONTH FOR GOLD MEMBER SERVICES, $6.99 PER MONTH FOR SILVER MEMBER 
   SERVICES, $3.99 PER MONTH FOR BRONZE MEMBER SERVICES, FREE IF YOU 
   COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE BEFORE MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. WHEN YOU SIGN 
   ON TOMORROW MORNING YOU WILL BE PROMPTED FOR PAYMENT INFO...IT IS 
   OFFICIAL IT WAS EVEN ON THE NEWS. FACEBOOK WILL START CHARGING DUE
   TO THE NEW PROFILE CHANGES

According to Graham Cluley of Sophos, It's amazing what people will believe when they are sent a message from a trusted friend - but let me assure you, Facebook is *not* going to ask you for your payment when you sign onto the site tomorrow morning. And no, the announcement of Facebook beginning to charge its users has *not* been on the news.

So there you have it folks, no need to worry about those charges because they're NOT true. Please share this information to your friends and let them know that facebook is still free to use.
