Is this message legit or not?

Question

There's a message going around on Facebook but I don't know if it is spam or I should really follow through and send it to all my friends.

This is what it reads:

Attention all Facebook members.

Facebook is recently becoming very overpopulated,

There have been many members complaining that Facebook

is becoming very slow.Record shows that the reason is

that there are too many non-active Facebook members

And on the other side too many new Facebook members.

We will be sending this messages around to see if the

Members are active or not,If you're active please send

to 15 other users using Copy+Paste to show that you are active

Those who do not send this message within 2 weeks,

The user will be deleted without hesitation to create more space,

If Facebook is still overpopulated we kindly ask for donations but until then send this message to all your friends and make sure you send

this message to show me that your active and not deleted.

Mark Zuckerberg

That doesn't even seem logical. Is it?

Answer 1

Anything that comes around that is anything like this is fake and is just spam, there is no way for facebook to track which email addresses or users have seen this email and sent it to 15 or more people.  I know this from personal experience and research a year or so ago.

Answer 2

no.

he wouldn't make you copy and paste it to 15 people, he'd send it to everyone individually and ask you to reply probably within a month. There is also no way he could track if you sent it or not- that would be illegal.

and having more members does in no way slow it down. It's just some loser looking for attention from people he/she doesnt even know.
