It's not April Fools anymore so why are we still being pranked? A woman, Toya Williford, managed to dupe thousands online with a bizarre love story.
On Facebook, she claimed that she met and fell in love with a man 10 months ago but they 'found out they were siblings'.
Williford's post read:
"Everybody was always saying how much we looked so much alike and they would always say 'y'all might be related' but we always laughed it off," she said.

According to Williford's prank post, exactly one month ago this year, they decided to get a DNA test and the result confirmed the suspicions.
''One month ago we decided to get a DNA test to finally put the rumours to rest. We were both excited to get the result only to find out we are related.
''We found out we were brother and sister. Yes, I was just as shocked as you guys.''
Williford's post has gone viral and garnered over 14,000 comments.

However, another social media user, Toni Sutton, revealed Williford was only playing a joke on the internet.
Sutton wrote: "
The funniest part about Toya’s post is that they were mad when they thought it was true and then they got super mad when they found out it was a joke. All they had to do is research. She posts jokes about them favouring at least once a month. Go like and share her YouTube and business pages. Make that go viral. She will keep you entertained!"
In a similar story, Briefly News previously reported a woman has revealed that she has fallen in love with her first cousin and they are planning to get married.
The 35-year-old has had a string of failed relationships but seems to have found love with the 55-year-old family member.
