Everyday on social media people are sharing horror stories!
Most start like this:
My cousin's mother's sister is lucky to be alive!
My daughter's friend's boyfriend's mother was almost killed!
The police are aware and said it has been happening.
If you are going to share a post that starts out like any of the above - please research it a little. At least check it out on Snoopes before sharing it.
It's getting really old to see all of these people sharing all of these posts that are simply not true.
Let's all not forget - just because it's on social media, does not mean it is true!

I prefer Hoax Slayer but regardless I wish people would do their research and stop posting this kind of nonsense.

I haven't heard of Hoax Slayer. I am going to go check that one out.

Maybe some of their stories are true also. Who knows. Well, I'm very careful in believing anything being shared in social media. I will see to it that what was shared is really true. Thanks for the heads up.

I am not saying that all stories posted are fake. I am saying that people should check them out before believing and sharing.

That's right. People love to circulate things they aren't even sure about. This is something serious especially when sharing information. I hope people will be more responsible on social media :-)
