The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 in March 2014 remains one of the greatest puzzles in the aviation industry. Despite combined efforts by nations and using the latest technology, nothing has been found. This has lead to a proliferation of hoaxes tagged Malaysia Airlines Plane Found. The hoax features images of wreckage on water with a ship sailing in an ocean. None of these images is credible.

The Dream Liner jet disappeared on March 8th after taking off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport headed for Beijing in China. It was an international passenger scheduled flight. The last contact was made over South China Sea, about an hour after take off. Two minutes later, the flight disappeared from tracking. It remained visible on the Malaysian radar for about an hour before it got off the limits.

Search and rescue missions have been carried out over an expansive area since it disappeared. They involve helicopters, ships, jets, boats and hundreds of sea specialists. Tracking technology from different nations has been deployed without success.

Speculation about the sighting of the wreckage is fueled by lack of any information after months of search. The reports use images to show debris on water. Other areas that are cited in these reports include remote islands in the Mediterranean Sea or the Indian Ocean. All these reports are false.

The most common is the claim that a sailor has received five million for sighting it during a fishing expedition. This is based on a reward that seeks to lure whistle blowers to reveal the information to relatives and families of the passengers. The report directs you to a link with a video that is to be viewed after sharing the link on your social media platforms. As it turned out, it was a well orchestrated marketing scheme.

Despite sharing the link on social media, it is difficult to view the video. A series of marketing surveys follows before you eventually land on some images. It is frustrating to realize that the images are not even of Malaysian Air. They belong to US Airways Flight 1549 which crashed in January 2009 in Hudson River, New York.

Affiliate marketing teams are exploiting the curiosity of the world to earn millions. The many people who click the link earn the marketers a lot of money. The pages you will be directed to after clicking contain marketing surveys. The surveys also earn them money. At some point, you are required to enter your number. It turns out that the number is entered into mobile subscription service which earns them more money.

A total of 239 passengers perished in this crash. The fact that it was a highly sophisticate jet raises questions about why it remains difficult to trace it. It is believed to have crashed in the Indian Ocean or Mediterranean Sea after changing flight path. Over a dozen countries have been searching for debris for a year but nothing has been found.

Family members and relatives seek to raise five million dollars to lure any whistle blower into revealing the secret behind its disappearance. This follows conspiracies that it was brought down in enemy territory or a part of a secret scheme involving different countries. The hoax thrives on the fact that no one knows what happened to the Boeing 777 an hour after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
