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.

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.
The young lady said:
''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.
''We were and still are madly in love; we decided to continue our relationship."
Williford's post has gone viral and garnered thousands of comments.
Isiahphena FoxyFe Norwood indicated that she couldn't continue with the relationship after finding out that she had been dating her biological brother.
She wrote:
''Nall no way I could continue after finding out. Y’all didn’t have a conversation about family or mutual friends on Facebook. That usually to raise a lot of questions and led to who knows who.''
Reacting to Williford's post, LaToyah King said:
''Had this happen to me but we ended up being 1st cousins and now we have 5 beautiful, intelligent children together.''
Raquel Picou said:
''I mean think of y’all kids... even tho y’all didn’t grow up together y’all still blood. It’ll make your kids come out with disabilities."
Josh Lirics Ahiable-Twist commented:
''The offsprings are gonna be the outcome of these relationships and the fact is they don’t even have a say with the disabilities that they may be born with due to love."
Qdadon Williams wrote:
''Yall could have kept this and took it to the d*mn grave yall didn't need any d*mn test to prove nor social media.''
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!"
