Sick or Dead Children and Adults Being Taken Advantage of by Heartless People on Facebook

We have noticed that some heartless and deceitful people have been posting pictures of sick, starving, dead and injured children, adults or animals on Facebook, to trick Facebook users into liking, sharing or commenting on those posts in order to make them popular. Those heartless and deceitful people are only taking advantage of caring Facebook users, who think they are helping out, by toying with their consciences.

Liking, sharing or commenting on the fake Facebook posts will only help to make the posts popular, which the owners, mostly scammers, will sell to rogue online marketing companies or other scammers, with the names and other information of all the Facebook users who have liked, shared or commented on them.
