Hoaxes
Next time someone warns you of a virus, check here to see if
it is a hoax.
NOTE: If anyone receives a chain letter claiming someone named "Jessica" is dying of cancer, that is also a hoax; the story has been twisted into various forms as well. The American Cancer Society is denouncing it and asks that people stop wasting time and bandwidth following the letter's instructions.
Chain letter e-mail is bunk. I have yet to see one that is anything but hogwash and a waste of people's time. Before you contribute to the problem by passing along some excitable piece of information please inquire with friends who may be more knowledgeable than you privately to see if they've heard it before.
