All three fake messages reportedly surfaced last week.
Snapchat has since taken to Twitter to alert users that these threatening messages are scams and personal pictures will not be shared.
The firm tweeted: "We're aware of a Screenshot going around with a rumor about your Memories – don't worry! This is #fake news."
