Facebook users are advised to ignore message pranks like the one below that claim Facebook will start charging money to use their services. The fake messages have been created by pranksters to frighten and trick Facebook users into sharing the messages with their friends, by claiming if they do so, Facebook will be free for them again. But, Facebook has always said that it will forever be free. Therefore, Facebook users who have received the fake messages should delete them or report them a spam. A similar hoax a few years ago caused Facebook to place the message: "It’s free and always will be", on their home page at www.facebook.com.
