Son Sent This To Me, Be Warned

[trt]

Put here in CB to get more coverage.

There is a whats-app group called' Interschools, if invited, don't join the group, it belongs to Daesh(ISIS). If you join the group you will not be able to exit from it, be vigilant, please inform others, send it to your relatives and friends.

Just thought I would let you know, in case.

Eh?

[Jackdaw33]

I've heard of this.

I thought this had been established to be a hoax

[aelmpvw]

a hoax according to google

[fiction-factory]

Most things that say "send to as many people as possible " are hoaxes similar to chain mail

It IS a hoax/fake news - and WhatsApp say they have NO groups that you cannot exit from. The text, message, whatever is doing the rounds on social media- but it's wrong.

One good thing is that the hoax is getting more coverage - perhaps fewer people will be taken in.

I am amazed people still fall for this rubbish and pass it on without doing any checks whatsoever.

Next time you get an email or text that says 'pass this on to everyone you know' then don't fall for it and just delete it.
