THE HOAX MESSAGE
The hoax message warned people to protect themselves from being a victim of police planting false evidence.
It said: “If you are driving & are stopped by police at a road block, & are asked to open the back bonnet, remember to turn off the engine & go to the back with them, pretending to open the bonnet yourself.
“If you open the bonnet from inside the car or let them open the bonnet, they may ‘find’ a plastic bag containing 100g of white powder.
“You’ll have a hard time trying to deny that the plastic bag belongs to you. You’ll have to dig very deep into your wallet to ‘clear’ your name. Remember! This message comes from people who have the same experience,” the message read.
It ended with “for sharing….. as sharing is caring. Pls share
