Some Facebook users have started posting on their walls a message claiming that Facebook will start charging fees for access and services to users starting this summer. And if you will repost the message, you will get it for free. This hoax is not new. I have seen many Facebook hoaxes from the past and this is the latest.
The picture above is one of the example circulating messages on Facebook. You might read other verions like the following:
IT IS OFFICIAL. IT WAS EVEN ON THE NEWS. FACEBOOK WILL START CHARGING DUE TO THE NEW PROFILE CHANGES. IF YOU COPY THIS ON YOUR WALL YOUR ICON WILL TURN BLUE AND FACEBOOK WILL BE FREE FOR YOU. PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ON, IF NOT YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DELETED IF YOU DO NOT PAY.
And here's another one.
It's official.. signal at 12;20 it even passed on tv. Facebook will start charging this summer. If you copy this on your wall your icon will turn blue and facebook will be free for you. Please pass this message if not your count will be deleted. p.s, this is serious the icon turns blue, So please put this on your wall
Facebook is the most popular social networking site with over 800+ million users. Do you think Facebook needs subscription revenue? If Facebook will charge $9.99 per month to Gold Services, imagine the revenue after a month.
However, this rumor is untrue. Please take the moment to verify the speculations. There is no link or official announcement from Facebook that they will charge for a fee. The message is nothing more but an updated version of an old hoax. Facebook, as written on the homepage of the website is "Free and Always will be."
