You can stop sending these messages now.  


Just quit it.


They aren't true. 


They never were. 


You were snookered into sending them to all your friends. And now hopefully you feel really dumb for sending them. 

ANYTHING that says to send to all your friends, don't do it. If the message says something you believe to be true about YOURSELF, then send it in your own words to a FEW friends, but not ALL.

You wasted so much time sending this to friends, and the risk is you will get marked as a scammer and possibly  lose your Facebook account.


YOU DIDN'T EVEN READ THE WHOLE MESSAGE  BEFORE YOU SENT IT!

If you did, maybe you wouldn't have sent it.



Your message is never going to make anyone pay attention because YOU LIED IN THE FIRST SENTENCE.



YOU know you didn't get a friend request.



The person you sent it to knows they never sent you a friend request.


And if you lie right off the bat, you will lose your audience.



You lost all three of us admins - Maggie King, Cally Russell and John George.  


Maggie and Cally have received more than 50 of these in the last 2 to 3 days.  John received 127 so far.  



We have decided -  as a team - to unfriend and block anyone who sends this to us because it is clear that we were wasting our time with our tutorials, trying to teach you how to be safe, and here you are spreading scammy hoaxes which should have stayed unsent.



Do you know? 

You are keeping it circulating every time you send it to even 5 people, and those 5 send it to 25 more, and those 25 send it to another 100 people and so on.  


You get the idea. It never ends.



And the man who created this in the first place?? Well, he is having a good laugh at your expense as he watches each one of you sending it to "all the people you want to forward it to" because that's how he gets his kicks.  


And yes, you are responsible for that.


Where you say "I had to do the people individually"  This does not make us care about you one way or the other.  

Because we don't.


And we sincerely mean that.  


You are the one who made a conscious decision to send this to all your friends.



You are the one who will have to deal with the fallout that each one decides to do with you.



Some may write you a terse message.  
In which case you got off easy.

Some may put you on ignore.
In which case you got off easy.

Some may unfriend you.
In which case you got off easy.

Some may unfriend and block you.
Good for them, you deserved it.






Although cloning accounts is a serious business on Facebook, your pathetic message isn't doing anything to slow it down or stop it.  





By now, you know all three of us admins have unfriended and blocked you for sending it.


Maybe you will think twice before you send any more of these.
