Facebook Warning About Hacker is FAKE

Facebook Warning About Hacker is FAKE

Please stop sending in private messages and sharing on Facebook - THIS IS FAKE NEWS!  

"Please tell all the contacts in your messenger list not to accept Jayden K. Smith friendship request. He is a hacker and has the system connected to your Facebook account. If one of your contacts accepts it, you will also be hacked, so make sure that all your friends know it. Thanks. Forwarded as received."

Many local residents in our area received this message from concerned Facebook members over the weekend. The message is not the first of its kind.
Just a side note the names in the post may be switched, or longer versions of the hoax may include multiple names.

These types of warnings have been around long before Facebook, affecting users of now defunct services such as MSN Messenger, where users would pass on warnings of phantom Messenger hackers trying to add themselves into your contact list.

Please investigate before you share FAKE News, etc.

Scott City Interchange Construction to Begin, Completion Date January 2018
Scott City Interchange Construction to Begin
 
Work to construct the Scott City interchange in Scott County will begin Monday, July 17, weather permitting.

As construction is underway, the Route PP overpass bridge over Interstate 55 will be closed. The Route PP overpass will be replaced with a wider, three-lane bridge to accommodate turning movements for the new interchange. The project includes constructing a new roadway from Route 61 at Kelso to the overpass bridge.

Completion is anticipated in January 2019, weather permitting.

The interchange will provide access to south Scott City, as well as a connection from Interstate 55 to Kelso. The project will also relieve congestion at the Route 61/K/M/I-55 interchange.
