In July 2016, the News10Live.com web site published an article reporting that a woman had died after getting a weave at a hair braiding salon in New Jersey: The story was completely fabricated. News 10 Live is one of a growing number of fake news web sites that publish clickbait fake news articles to generate ad revenue via the Internet. A note on the site's disclaimer page states (however ungrammatically): The article text was copied almost word-for-word from another fake news site, EmpireHerald.com, where it had been posted approximately five months earlier. The maggot-infested weave tale is essentially a rehash of an urban legend that has circulated online and off for decades.
