Adam Levine Death Hoax: Maroon 5 Singer Dies Of 'Drug Overdose'

Adam Levine, lead singer of the American pop rock band Maroon 5, has become a victim of a hoax death of celebrity.
A viral Face book post that claimed the 35 - year-old died of a drug overdose has proven to be a scam.

“[News] Adam Levine of Maroon 5 dies at 35 ... drug overdose was reported dead on arrival after being rescued from a Drug ... “the title read.



However, there is no video itself and the link leads to a fake Face book page that asks the user to provide access to your account before you see it, thus spreading the scam.
David Emery with About.com wrote that

 “click jacking attacks are based on the false promise of sensationalized and scandalous content to attract users to sites where they are asked to participate in surveys or watch the promotional content, generating revenues for scammers. Also request access profile information and permission to publish your name, that’s how scams are propagated users ... users are asked to download malicious software. "

Last year in December, Global Associated News reported that Levine, who is dedicated to Secret model girlfriend Behati Prinsloo Victoria, died due to a car accident in Australia.

The list of celebrities affected by similar fraud is growing all the time , including the Oscar -winning actor Morgan Freeman , comedian Bill Cosby, Bill Nye the Science Guy , Reese Witherspoon, Robert Pattinson, Margaret Thatcher, Phil Collins, Kris Jenner , Denzel Washington, Adele, John Witherspoon , Taylor Swift , Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga.
