Think Before You Spread Bad Info
Resolve not to share bad and incorrect info on social media or email. If it sounds too good to be true, it's probably not true. Mark Zuckerberg is not going to send you free money. Ever. That's why he's mega-rich and we're not. See something on Facebook that seems fishy? Before you just "share" and spread it even farther, check it out with a Google search or even better, check on Snopes to see if it is true. More info on Snopes is here in this Cool Tip -
