Hoax-slayer

Next time you get one of those panic post on Facebook saying people can see your data or read your emails, before telling all your friends check this site out and search for the offending issue, usually these are just silly hoaxes that people post because they are weird and have nothing better to do!

Or www.snopes.com


No matter what you point out someone will post that it is a fact that there granny has been abducted from Calis beach and if you share this post something good will happen and an angel will visit you within 24hours and shower you with money, if you don't share the computer will blow up.

I did try this when there was one doing the rounds on FB recently about women being abducted/attacked - the person who posted it swore it had happened in our town, which it very definitely hadn't.

But it seems people would rather believe they are in mortal danger than admit they've been had...  : :)

i used to be given all the chain letters at work to destroy as the rest of the girls were afraıd ıt would bring them bad luck if they did it. And what happened to me ? I got good luck and ended up here for my sins. I delete all the angel messages on FB I believe you make your own luck be it good or bad.

Facebook showed me clearly just how bloody gullible some people are.

Steady Scunner, you'll be getting H to trot out his trusty old "The word gullible doesn't appear in the Oxford English Dictionary" saw again.
