Beware of Fake Facebook Fundraising Campaigns using “Likes” & “Shares”

I have noticed a lot of Facebook memes (pictures) which claims with sharing or liking this picture Facebook will donate to the cause. This is absolutely false and Facebook will NOT donate money based on the amount of likes or shares that a photo receives. The photos often depict a severely injured, ill or abused child. People are exploiting these children by spreading their photos and the good nature of people who end up sharing these photos, in order to receive more likes (fans) for their pages.
Please do not share the photos - report them instead! Please share with your friends to raise awareness on this issue.
