Advertising cheating on facebook?

I have an old (not very close) friend on facebook who periodically posts messages like this:

"Hey, I'm writing papers again! so if you need a paper written cuz you are to busy or w/e hit me up!..just in the process of writing a 10 page research paper and finishing up another essay and so far all my papers have gotten "A"s :) lemme know whats up!"

He's posted several messages like this over the months - usually he'll mention his going rate for writing papers. His spelling errors aside, it really irks me (especially because I work as a part-time English tutor and grader and have to constantly be checking for plagerism) that A) he's blatantly telling the world that he's helping people cheat and B) none of his closer friends have called him out on it or apparently said anything to him throughout the months. He was always a "good kid" when I knew him and his family growing up. He's younger than me and college-aged (but not in college).

I should just mind my own business and keep out of it, right? Should my reaction be any different if it was a close friend? I feel somehow obligated to do or say something, but there's probably nothing I can really do...

 Anybody come across stuff like this on facebook?

 

Re: Advertising cheating on facebook?

  • I agree with you, I would be really annoyed with it too. I don't know if there is much you can do, unfortunately Sad People post some stupid stuff on FB. You could try to "report" him but i don't know how that works. I think the best thing to do would be to just block his statuses from appearing in your newsfeed.

  • Yeah... I guess there probably isn't anything I can do... I keep feeling the urge to comment on his status, but that would probably leave me looking stupid.
  • I had something similar happen to me. I'm in a grad class with someone who is my friend on facebook, and the day before a research paper was due they posted somehting along the lines of " anyone have a research paper I can use for my class" Of course someone said sure I'll e-mail it to you. It irked me soooo bad because I worled really hard on mine, and they got off easy... it will catch up to them eventually.
  • u may be able to report the ones who buy the papers to the dean
