Interesting article....I knew that many of these were scams but I never understood how the scam worked.

Totally. I hate when I see these "type Amen" scams - why am I typing Amen? I can't believe Facebook allows this.

Shared with my parents.

It's the new version of being in a sandwich generation. Caring about and preventing both your kids and your parents mis-use of social media!

Shared with my mom. All she does is repost and like these things. Drives me nuts.

Older women in my family who I'm FB friends with "like" and type "Amen" on these pages too. I always thought something was fishy about it. I hate having my news feed filled up with those posts.

I don't like seeing all this stuff either.
I'm not a heartless ****** by not sharing, I'm just a true skeptic.

And ANY of those "We are giving away 50 tickets around the world" or "free Disney vacation" or "like and share for a chance to win" all bogus. All of them.

Ugh my MIL and her sister do all this stuff. It's so annoying to constantly see it on my newsfeed. MIL used to like those ads to win free ioads, tickets, etc... Until she got a virus!
