Is payeer safe. If a death hoax and rogue link worked, they are likely to be repeated in the future for the same celebrity or other celebrities. This hoax appeared in 2013, then returned with only minor details changed in 2016. Similar postings circulated purporting Nicholas Cage and Jackie Chan were dead.

Signs that a Facebook post may be a hoax include links that are not specific to a trusted news source. For example, some of the links in this hoax were to a Tumblr.com address rather than a news site's address. If the posting is coming from a recently created Facebook page, such as 'R.I.P. Rowan Atkinson' rather than the celebrity's official Facebook fan page of a long-standing and large following, it should be suspect. Look up the celebrity's official social media and check for postings there.
Check trusted news sources directly rather than following a link when you see an announcement. Go directly to a news site and search for the celebrity's name, or check their entertainment section. Do not trust trending taglines on social media, as they may have been set in motion by the hoax.
You can also do a quick search for the name of the celebrity and 'death hoax' to see what results you get. There are a few sites that compile lists of actual celebrity deaths, and you may check them.
