Fake Violence Reports Causing Chaos and Panic in Mexico

Mexican police have been sent running in circles by a series of reports of violence, almost all of which have been fake.

Over the week thousands of fake reports have been called in to police, who can't risk not going, in case it's actually real.

Tweets and Facebook statuses have caused mass panic as they have purported more fake violence.

Mass media is often used in Mexico to allow Mexicans to know what areas to avoid, when actual violence is occurring.

Police have taken to Facebook, Twitter, TV, and even passed flyers out to try and end the panic.

Whoever is orchestrating this, is succeeding in causing chaos, especially in Mexico City.
