Don’t fall for the “celebrity death hoax”

One thing online scammers don’t lack is creativity. And social networks (Facebook in particular) gave them the perfect channel to amplify their scams and dupe thousands into giving away their personal information and/or money.   
 
The fact that people rarely fact-check what they read and tend to click right away on anything that stirs their curiosity doesn’t help either.
 
So be aware that “celebrity death hoaxes” are commonly used for phishing and social engineering and don’t click on them, no matter how much that curiosity itches.
