The fact check
Fact check

To be clear, you cannot “hack” a Facebook account by accepting a friend request. This is technically not possible. The origin of the chain letter must lie in a misunderstood observation. Perhaps there was a phishing attempt in which this name appeared. Unfortunately, all of this is no longer comprehensible. What we do know, however, is that the chain letter with the warning exists in many different languages. However, there is no point in spreading the chain letter any further.
