The messaging app Snapchat is once again the focus of acquisition rumors as a new report claims that the company recently turned down a $3 billion offer from Facebook.

According to sources in contact with The Wall Street Journal, Facebook made an offer of “$3 billion or more,” but Snapchat cofounder Evan Spiegel is opting to wait until 2014 in hopes of a better valuation for the company.

When contacted for comment regarding the acquisition report, a Facebook spokesperson told Mashable, "We don't comment on rumors and speculation."

In October, the Journal put out a similar report, claiming that Facebook had offered to acquire Snapchat for $1 billion.

Still another report in October indicated that Snapchat was looking to raise a round of funding that would value the company at roughly $3.5 billion.

Snapchat did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
