New hoax on Facebook

The new hoax on Facebook which has fast gained popularity this week is scaring some people into thinking they are being stalked by unknown people.
Facebook users are being bamboozled and deceived into spreading the myth that a hidden list could expose who your stalkers are.

It further goes ahead to claim that those followers would be secretly stalking you, your statuses and updates.
The rumor says that Facebook will give you the list if you go to your ”Settings” – to ”blocking and privacy”, and type in ”following me”

Realistically, when you type into the search bar, Facebook WILL give you a list of friends, places, etc. So, what you are seeing is actually just a list of people who share some letters with the words ”following” and ”me”.

We are glad to say, the myth is just that – a myth.
