“I'm mark The Director of Facebook” or “Hello, I'm Mark, the director of Facebook.”

This is how a message or status post begins, which is currently being shared again and again on Facebook.

First of all: Because of the current “data scandal”, Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg had to testify before the US Congress at the beginning of April 2018. The discussion about a paid subscription model also came up. However, a fee will not come soon because Zuckerberg is of the opinion that the ad-supported version is still the best.

In connection with this discussion, a chain letter is once again making the rounds on Facebook, which is unsettling many Facebook users.

This is the following message

I'm mark The Director of facebook

Aha!

Mark Zuckerberg is writing to you directly. He tells you that all the rumors of the past have come true and Facebook is now becoming paid. But... you can continue for free if you send Mark's message to 18 different people from your friends list. And then the Facebook logo turns blue because you followed the instructions.

Now the “Facebook” translator has also struck!

The message in question is now also available in German!

Hello, I'm Mark, the director of Facebook. Hello everyone, it seems that all warnings are real. Using Facebook costs money. If you send this string to 18 different ones from your list, your icon will turn blue and it will be free to you. If you don't believe me, tomorrow at 6 p.m. Facebook will be closed and to open it you have to pay. This is all by law. This message is to inform all our users that our servers have recently become very overloaded. We ask for help to resolve this issue. We require that our active users forward this message to each of the people in your contact list to verify our active Facebook users. If you do not send this message to all your Facebook contacts, your account will remain inactive with the consequence that you will lose all your contacts without sending this message. Your smartphone will be updated within the next 24 hours and will have a new design and color for chat. Dear Facebook users, we are making an update for Facebook from 11:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. that day. If you don't send this to all of your contacts, the update will be canceled. You don't have the option to chat using your Facebook messages. You have to pay the price unless you are a frequent user. If you have at least 10 contacts, send this SMS and the logo will turn red to show that you are a user Verified... We finish it for free. Tomorrow they start collecting the news for Facebook at 0.37 cents. Forward this message to more than your 9 contacts and it will be free for life. Clock and the ball turns green. Do it and you will see, Facebook is now free. Email 10 people to reactivate your service at no cost.

And what's up with that now?

Absolutely nothing. Facebook currently has no plans to make the social network paid. Even if they had this plan, they definitely wouldn't announce it like that. It would be too unprofessional and clumsy to ask to send a rather clumsy text via PM in order to remain free of charge.

This type of chain letter has always existed!

Facebook itself writes in its help section:

Does using Facebook cost money? Is it true that Facebook will charge fees for using the website?

No. Facebook is a free website and will never charge fees for continued use of the site in the future.

However, you have the option to make purchases related to games, apps, and other items. If you choose to use Facebook from your mobile phone, remember that you are responsible for any charges associated with internet use and/or texting according to your mobile provider's terms and conditions.
