breakingnews247.net is another in a long list of prank sites. The site is upfront about what it is (“Prank your friends now!”) but if you’re not paying attention, you could get caught-out!
From the disclaimer on their footer:
This website is an entertainment website, news are created by users. These are humourous news, fantasy, fictional, that should not be seriously taken or as a source of information.
Prank sites are rarely funny and usually always annoying. It’s even more annoying once you realize that they’re using the laziest form of ClickBait ever in order to get their ad-revenue from content. You’re doing all the work of creating and sharing the content; breakingnews247.net is getting all the ad revenue from the traffic your content drove to the site.
