Heres another opportunity to be the cool, clever one among your group of friends with an early warning of another daft hoax doing the rounds on Facebook.
If youve seen people sending warnings not to accept friendship requests from Jayden K. Smith, theyve been had.
Its a hoax a variant on a long-running one which has circulated for decades online.
The message says, Please tell all the contacts in your Messenger list, not to accept Jayden K. Smith friendship request. He is a hacker and has the system connected to your Facebook account. If one of your contacts accepts it, you will also be hacked, so make sure that all your friends know it. Thanks. Forwarded as received.
