Setting out to articulate what instinct told me, I jotted down about nine policies about a year ago with regard to requests to forward information and other posts. I have more, but I got tired of writing. If I find any good ones, I may actually forward them!

FB Policy #1 – Never pass on a message that begins with, "Hi, I'm Mark Zuckerberg The Director of facebook.."

1. It is obviously not from him.
2. That is not his title.
3. The company's name should be begin with an upper case, "F."

FB Policy #2 – Never pass on any message that comes by way of "Messenger."

FB Policy #3 – Never pass on a message that requires cutting and pasting it as if it came from you rather than using a "share" function. It is always indicative of chain letter or scam.

FB Policy #4 – Never pass on any message that says that 9 out of 10 of you will not pass it on. Overcome your guilt and trust the wisdom of the crowd on this one. Stand with the 9.

FB Policy # 5 – Never pass on anything that you are prompted to pas on via guilt.

FB Policy #6 – Never pass on requests for money not attached to reputable non-profits with a professional website and the ability to process credit cards and generate receipts. Exception – "Go Fund Me" accounts and that sort of thing which have public/transparent accountability.

FB Policy #7 – If someone sends you a message saying that FB is censoring them, would one not ask why, if it were true, that the message making that claim was not censored and why we have access to so many messages that criticize them for that reason?????

FB Policy #8 – Get all of those pet peeves off your mind and then, move on

Final (for now) FB Policy (#9 or 10 – who knows?) . Don't take it personally when someone sends you this sort of spam. They've been tricked too.
