Another day, another Facebook hoax.
This time, you may have seen people warning you on your Facebook feed that there’s a secret list of people following your posts. They’re supposedly not your friends, but complete strangers.
The posts then direct you to search “Following Me” in your Facebook account and there will be a list of names you won’t recognize, The Times Union reported.
The problem is, it is all a hoax that your Facebook friends are unknowingly perpetuating.
This isn’t the first time a following hoax took root on social media. Snopes investigated a similar claim in January that people from “Facebook security” were paid to watch people on the platform.
Both are untrue, according to Snopes.
So how can you find out how who really is following you?
According to Facebook’s Help Center, you go to the right corner and select Settings, then click Public Posts, then select Friends or Public next to Who Can Follow Me.
