"Yesterday I heard on Radio 4 about a new industry in Moldova. One particular town was growing rich on it.
The industry? Posting completely fabricated 'news stories' on Facebook and suckering people in to likeing and sharing them.
Lies about the candidates US election were flavour of the month but it will be something else soon I'm sure.
The originators of the lies get paid per visit because of the advertising that accompanies them.
So, please beware of believing every sensationalist thing you read on Facebook. I am not sure about those quizzes that people do or the pseudo Christian pleas for prayers for people in dire straits but just be wary."
Medic Alert, a national organization produces bracelets that alert EMTs and others of your condition including required medications. If I felt the need to provide this information (when unconscious or unable to communicate) I opt for that. Sounds like you are dealing with an illegitimate organization. Perhaps you could name them and your experience with them so others are warned.
