Are you reading an urban legend email?

If you are like me you receive several emails each day. Some from work, some from family and friends. And a lot of the emails have been forwarded and forwarded and forwarded before they get to you. Some are funny pictures or funny jokes, but some sound like they are telling helpful story. How can you tell if you are getting a helpful hint or being duped into forwarding an urban legend? Well, after reading the forwarded email check out one of theses sites. * http://www.snopes.com/ * http://urbanlegends.about.com/ * http://www.scambusters.org/legends.html * http://www.factcheck.org/ * http://www.breakthechain.org/ ::update:: Since making this post I have found two more sites dedicated to pointing out urban legend emails. If you know of any more site like these sites leave the URL in the comments section or email me at sanman294atgmaildotcom. And I will post them here and give you credit for finding them for me! http://www.truthorfiction.com/ http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/
