It's an Internet hoax that has been making the rounds for years and recently experienced a resurgence.
I have no idea why some people feel like they have to do this. Nor do I understand how they can have so much time to waste thinking this kind of dribble up in the first place.
The facts are that when Mars is at opposition (once each time it revovles about the Sun) it will be as close to Earth as it will get for that particular Martian year. At that time it will appear to be as large as it will get during that particular Martian year.
So, it will appear to be bigger than usual, but nowhere near the size of the Moon in apparent visual diameter. In fact, it never gets near enough to Earth to appear to have a disc, as viewed with the naked eye.
