Ruthless foreign websites are preying on unsuspecting internet users by luring them with fake polls to adware-infested websites that might harm your computer.

Have you ever seen a post on Facebook that asks you if you support or agree with something?  Have you liked or shared such a post without actually visiting the website?

STOP DOING THAT!

All these sites are trying to do is make money off unsuspecting visitors by swamping them with a deluge of advertising of a very dubious nature: porn, get-rich-quick scams, fake meds, dubious cures for various ailments…  Sometimes they even trick visitors into installing malicious software that will slow down your computer or send your private data to foreign hackers.

Many of these kinds of posts being shared on Facebook don’t even lead to an actual poll: there simply is nothing but ads when you click trough to these sites.

Worse: if you like or share these posts (even without clicking through) or if you leave a comment on them it makes Facebook think you like this kind of content so their algorithm will show you more of it.  Also, Facebook will tell your friends you liked the post, making it more likely they will fall victim to these scammers too.

HOW TO FIGHT BACK:

• Don’t share a poll without first checking out the site.
• Does it look legit?  Or does it look scammy?
• Does it have way too many ads on it?

If you have your doubts about any of these things, don’t share, don’t like, don’t click!

Imagine this: a hard working American citizen struggling to provide for his family. When he goes on social media to kick back and relax after a long day at the plant, something terrible happens. Turns out there are some disgusting criminals out there doing everything they can do deceive working class hero Joe and play tricks on him.

Sounds far-fetched? This is happening every single day to MILLIONS of people all across the globe. People are spreading FAKE NEWS articles to make a profit of folks like Joe & deceive the public. These are NOT companies that provide reliable information. These are SCAMMERS that mislead you to make MONEY

DON’T BELIEVE IT? CLICK HERE FOR PROOF 

You don’t want to end up like Joe. You want to know what’s REALLY going on. But with all the cunning deception that is going on, how do you distinguish between real and fake news? EASY!

1. If a website uses sensational headlines, many pictures and LOTS OF CAPS, it’s probably FAKE.
2. If a website doesn’t cite any verifiable sources, it’s probably FAKE.
3. If a website has a name you’ve never heard of and you can’t find out what kind of organisation is behind it, it’s probably FAKE

Why do we fall for these sites? We get it. They offer sensation, feed on suspicion, and make the world seem like an even more exciting place. But it’s lies. Here are some websites you can find real, credible news:

– New York Times

– Washington Post

– Reuters

– BBC

Only trust news websites that credit their articles with sources and factual explanations. And you will no longer be the victim of cunning deception strategies.
YOU CAN DO IT!

You are!!!! By clicking on sensational news like this you contribute to the spreading of fake news. So why don’t you take a look at this cute kitten and share this post to see which of your friends are fooled too!!

There is a big conspiracy taking over Facebook!! People are sharing FALSE articles and PROPAGANDA. Your freedom to get factual information is under pressure and will be gone if we don’t stand up! We need to stop this digital APOCALYPSE and get back to the truth. FIGHT against this disinformation and take back our FREEDOM!

Jewish Senator and failed presidential candidate Bernie Sanders last week accused the Republican nominee for an important budget office of bigotry.

But now Macedonian bloggers are trying to twist the story for their own mysterious ends. Foreign interests are targeting you and your family hoping to change how you see the news.

It’s unclear why Marko Gjorgjiouski, the man who also used to own the sexynakedass.com website, is claiming to support Christian values. His Macedonian blog usanewspolitics.com published an article about this story that’s just not true.

Sanders’ question to Russell Vought during a Senate committee hearing has been described by some as a breach American values. The Constitution states that “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”

But did Sanders really do this? And why is Gjorgjiouski lying to you about what happened. “Bernie Sanders Says Christianity Is An Insult To Muslims,” Gjorgjiouski’s blog reads. But it’s a lie published to mess with your beliefs. Sanders never said that.

See the facts for yourself here on the Conservative YouTube channel.

Gjorgjiouski is the registered owner of usanewspolitics.com in Macedonia. See the publicly available information here.

Dimitri is one of dozens of teenagers in the Macedonian town of Veles who got rich during the U.S. presidential election producing fake news for millions on social media.
The articles, sensationalist and often baseless, were posted to Facebook, drawing in armies of readers and earning fake-news writers money from penny-per-click advertising.
Dimitri says he’s earned at least $60,000 in the past six months — far outstripping his parents’ income and transforming his prospects in a town where the average annual wage is $4,800. He is one of the more successful fake news pushers in the area.

By sharing fake news YOU are making some Macedonian children very rich while AMERICA goes bankrupt. WE need to STOP the spreading of fake news and stand up for AMERICA!!!

SHARE AND LIKE IF YOU BELIEVE WE SHOULD STOP MAKING FOREIGNERS RICH WITH OUR ACTIONS.
