Comment:
Do you get loads of email
a)Giving a sob story about people in trouble etc. "Forward this or else..."
b)Rumours about strange (bad) things that happened to someone (scare tactics)
Check that rumour, hoax, chain-mail at your inbox.
Internet anti-hoax sites or informative sites about email hoaxes etc.
