Hoaxbusters
Work detail
"Anyone who has received the Bill Gates money-back offer or an urgent email from a pseudo-Nigerian official needing a place to deposit untold sums of money will find this site, created and maintained by the CIAC (Computer Incident Advisory Capability), helpful. The objective of this site is to "describe some of the warnings, offers, and pleas for help that are filling our mailboxes, clogging our mail servers, and that generally do not have any basis in fact." Suspected hoaxes can easily be verified by keyword searching, through an index, or by investigating pre-set categories such as Urban Myths, Giveaways, etc."--"Best Free Reference Web Sites 2003," RUSA Quarterly, Fall 2003; reviewed Mar. 3, 2003.
