If you're scrolling through social media and you see a post about the sudden death of an Eagles cheerleader, it's probably going to get your attention. It turns out, none of them is real.

Experts say the people behind the fake posts are looking to catch your attention, and if you're an Eagles fan, this type of phony post could end up in your feed. One Eagles cheerleader spoke to CBS News Philadelphia about this, and she said it was unnerving.

The posts show pictures of women in Eagles cheerleader outfits and usually say, "RIP," accompanied by a caption. One we found says, "A longtime Eagles cheerleader who served Philadelphia fans for many years has lost her life at age 32 after a heartbreaking family dispute, leaving behind a 3-year-old child."
