Facebook post claims Zuckerberg will donate money to starving dogs

A screenshot claiming to show a conversation between a page called Puppies Planet and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is spreading on Facebook.

The conversation claims that Zuckerberg will donate money to the page to help “starving dogs” every time the screenshot accumulates likes, shares and comments.

The screenshot is below –

Hey Mark! I have a fanpage called Puppies Planet. 30,000 dogs are being abused and starving for food everyday. How can you help me and all the dog lovers?
Please reply!!!

Hey Puppies Planet, this is a pretty strong request you have asked. I am a dog lover and I will give you a chance.
1 Like = $0.5l 1 Comment = $1 and 1 Share = $1.5 – Mark.

It’s fake. The conversation is fake (it’s clearly been poorly photoshopped) and it’s yet another version of donate-per-share like-farming – whereas the page behind the fake post – Puppies Planet – is trying to lure people into engaging with their post using deception. In this case, the false assertion that Zuckerberg will donate money based on the engagement the Facebook post receives.

This isn’t the first time Puppies Planet has tried to pull this kind of stunt. The month prior they posted a similar screenshot, only this time it was a wager that a screenshot of a conversation between the page and Zuckerberg could accumulate a certain amount of engagement, and if it did then Zucekrberg would help stop the controversial Yulin dog meat festival.

Ultimately, it’s a ruse to lure Facebook users into engaging with a post, which makes it a like-farming scam. As such, we recommend not interacting with the post at all.
