top 10 lies, rumours myths, legends and email hoaxes of 2008

LOL Some of these, like the Bill Gates and Jamie Lee Curtis one, are old. No, I don't believe everything I get in an email. Yes, I believe, and still believe, Obama is a Muslim. I believe he's hiding this for his image. It says a lot about him to me. Why be ashamed of your hertiage? To be honest, I didn't like any of them.

have to go look at the link answer more later

I got one the other day that had supposedly been checked out at snopes.com. It stated that those internet petitions weren't any good and that snopes had sent it out. Well Snopes did't send it out at all. Just another urban legend. I'v gotten so I just delete them all and go on.

I normally don't believe everything that's given to me. Until now, The add your cell phone to the Do Not Call Registry caught me off guard, I guess from now on, I will have to do some research before I do anything that's given to me in a email.

i don,t believe everything i read in a e-mail any way.you heard the saying believe half of what you heard none of what you see.

I delete most of this stuff unread.

Let me just say I really hate those stupid forward emails. They're a pain and usually always false. Secondly, I do find some of them amusing but mostly I find them annoying and I can't figure out why people don't make better use of their time. After looking at the link you posted I think my favorite has to be of "Palin" in a bikini with a rifle. That's hilarious.

I suppose most of them are false, but sometimes there might be a true one hidden in between all the lies. The trouble is we cannot say "I hate this" because there might be a grain of truth, for instance there might have been one Halmark email vice but it was probably a specific type of image sent out at a specific time and it was detected by one time, but someone decided to scare everyone silly by sending those email warnings. The one that was my favorite was that one when you had to remove a certain dll from Windows because it destroyed your hard drive. There were quite a number who believed it and then one had to search all through the net to get it back. As for the Obama being the anti=Christ, it did not say in Revelations about the anti-Christ being a pretend Muslim, only that he and others like him were charismatic and could lure the unwary to their cause. You can take it from there.

I haven't gotten any of those emails, well maybe the one about the virus from hall mark. But I do get a lot of bogus emails. For the last few months I have been getting a rash of emails from Nigeria and some other African countries about a large sum of money that could be mine if I just helped them get it out of the country. Right. I mark them as spam as soon as they come in but they keep changing the sender so they keep getting through. Why anyone would fall for such a obvious hoax is beyond me. They have even disguised themselves as the FBI or CIA to try to get us to send them the information they are asking for. I have yet to figure out what they will gain by getting our personal information. If they tried to get a credit card with my info they would have to pay my debts before they could succeed. The other emails that I hate are the ones about male enhancing products. Since I am not male I have no earthly use for anything like that. And I can't think of anything that I have bought or asked about that would make anyone think that I would be interested.
