Facebook Dismisses Charge Rumours

Facebook Dismisses Charge Rumours

By , Mar 22 in blog with 0 comments

Those of you who are using Facebook will no doubt have heard the rumors circulating about a new charge that is to be supposedly introduced from July 1st and costing around $15 per month, well I got an invitation overnight to join the group “I’m quitting Facebook if we have to pay $14.99 a month” one of the many irrelevant groups you get invitations to every day, well I’m not joining because the whole thing is a hoax.

Back in January the owners of Facebook denied there was an intention to start charging to use the site, below is an official quote from Facebook:

” A spokesman for the company said: “We have no plans to charge users for Facebook’s basic services. Facebook is a free service for its 350 million users.”

So there you have it, it’s a hoax. Just ignore the whole thing.
