HOAXBUSTERS INDEX
~~ added 11/24/06 ~~
If you are like me you have learned to dislike HOAXES.
And, if you are like me you have unknowingly forwarded a hoax or two. And I hope that, (like happened with me), someone has taken the time to let you know what you did.
On this page I hope to share sites that will help us all to stamp out hoaxes. It is my opinion that there is so much good that can be done with the internet that it is a shame (if not a sin) to waste our time with stories that are not true.

How?
By sharing an expose' page with those in your address files.
CHILDREN
It is a good thing to check out reports sent by e-Mail.
The purpose of this page is to provide links to sites that will help all of us to identify real legitimate concerns from false ones.
If you find you have received a hoax let the person(s) who sent it to you know that it is a hoax; and, share the URL for the expose with them. Also if you have forwarded a report you latter found to be untrue send the URLs to the ones you wrote to.

has long been a favorite site to check out stories that are sent my way.

HoaxKill Service
Identifies Hoaxes and Tells All Recipients.
Here is a quote from the HoaxKill site:
What is HoaxKill?
Most Internet users are familiar with virus warnings, chain letters and petitions which arrive in their mailbox. Many of these messages spread false information and waste a lot of bandwidth by asking you to forward them to all your friends.
The HoaxKill service was created to help you identify hoaxes and to actively combat them. To find out if a message is a hoax, you can look for it on this website. If it's not there, you can send it to us at hoaxcheck@hoaxkill.com for verification.
Once you are certain that a message is a hoax, you can send it to hoaxkill@hoaxkill.com. Our software will then extract the addresses of all previous recipients from the message and inform them all that the message is a hoax.
