Don't believe every cybermyth, urban legend, hoax or virus "alert" sent to you. Ever wondered if anyone makes the money promised in those work-at-home advertisements? If that virus-scare they say was covered on major news channels is true?? Or if each forwarded e-mail will really mean a donation of 10 cents from Microsoft to an orphan's organ-transplant operation? The answer is almost always NO!!. Most of these “stories” are hoaxes, urban legends, e-mail rumors, scams or in some cases pure financial fiction.
Don’t be part of the problem “by spreading untrue information”. Investigage and check them out - before you send this type of information to family and friends take a few minutes to validate the information, just visit one of the following websites:
