Mr. Bean did not crash his car performing a stunt and was not killed. Mr. Bean, an English actor and comedian whose real name is Rowan Atkinson, is alive and is another victim of a celebrity death hoax or fake news created by online scammers or cyber-criminals. The hoax has been created by online scammers or cyber-criminals with the intention of tricking online users (especially social media users) into sharing it with their friends. If social media users click on the hoax or fake news post, they will not see a news clip of the so-called accident because Mr. Bean did not crash his car. They will instead, be taken to spam or malicious websites where they will be tricked into buying counterfeit products, fake or malicious software, or even taken to phishing websites that steal online account credentials, financial and personal information.

This is what online users will see when they are asked to share the hoax or fake news.

Remember, online users who are asked to install an application or share a post in order to view a video, an image, or any form of information, should not do so. This is because this is how online scammers or cyber criminals trick social media users into sharing their scams, by promising to show them some video or an image that doesn't exist, if they share, like, or comment on their post.
