WHAT WAS CLAIMED
Facebook users are offering free puppies.
OUR VERDICT
False. The posts are part of an orchestrated scam operating across different continents.
Dozens of Facebook users based across different continents are offering up the same adorable litters of puppies for free.
The posts are part of an orchestrated scam and use a mixture of hacked accounts and fake profiles to reach thousands of users.
The posts' captions vary slightly. But read along the lines of: "FREE PUPPIES they are pure Yorkies Breed with love!! We can't keep 6 puppies sadly... so they are in need of good home!! Only rehoming fee please dm me."
