Don’t Be Fooled Into Wasting Your Time Clicking On Deceptive Internet Headlines

I saw this Deceptive Internet Headline on 7/25/20.

This one makes you want to click on the link because we all heard that Tom Hanks and his Celebrity Wife had contracted Coronavirus while in Australia earlier this year. We find ourselves panicking and saying to our Collective Selves, “Oh no! Not Tom! Oh no! Not Tom’s Celebrity Wife!”.

Here is the Deceptive Headline...

"Braking News! Sad News For Tom Hanks and His Wife!"

Our reaction is...

Oh My Gosh! Tom Hanks and/or his Celebrity Wife is/are going to die! I just got to read all about it!

A Couple of Paragraphs from the Article read...

 “Tom Hanks is no doubt one of the greatest actors in Hollywood. He is an American icon celebrated for the amazing roles he has performed. But what has he been doing since he got back from Australia this year? The academy award winner created a stir last week when he announced his new CBD line, on Live TV. 

Now that the world has finally accepted the incredible health benefits of CBD, Tom has revolutionized a safe, legal line of CBD products that have become extremely popular.”

But where is the “Sad News” promised in the Headline?

Could it be that Tom Hanks and His Celebrity Wife are going to make a lot of money and we are not?

Would I kid u?
