Smith was out to steal all your information, and your grandma’s too.First thing’s first: you cannot have your information hacked by accepting a friend request. Likewise, people cannot access your friends’ personal information through a simple friend request. Though, it is advised to be cautious when accepting requests from people you don’t know.Secondly, we found an article from the Telegraph, a UK based news source, calling the chain-message a hoax. It says that there is nothing to suggest that someone is going around with the name Jayden K. Smith and hacking Facebook profiles.We should also note that that these messages are being copied and pasted and sent out by the senders; it's not as if the message is going out without their knowledge. Furthermore, according to Facebook's terms and conditions, you can't send mass requests out to unknown users because it violates their spam policy. So we can definitely confirm this is a hoax.But how are the Jayden K. Smiths of the world feeling?Well this one is confused. He asks, "Why are people persecuting me?!"And this one is taking it in stride, he says it is time to send some friend requests.We have reached out to Facebook and have not heard back.
