You know what I'm talking about -- those annoying emails that we all receive and that you might be afraid not to forward to everyone you know just in case there really is a missing child, a fortune waiting to be claimed, or a horrible accident to be avoided. Before you hit the "forward" button, check out the reliability/truth at the following:

[|Snopes] -- easily check the truth about rumors, urban legends, and internet use/abuse and email messages.

[|Hoax Slayer] -- check the truth about email hoaxes and internet scams.

[|Truth Or Fiction] -- lists the current "top 20" of the hour; provides links for further investigation of possible hoax messages.

[|McAfee] -- use this site to check out virus hoaxes. Some warnings are true--others aren't. Check here before you send the warning!

[|Don't Spread that Hoax!] -- still another source to check.
