A friend of mine isn’t particularly computer literate, and on top of that she’s going through a messy divorce plus, like me, she’s a brain-injury survivor. So she doesn’t have the know-how or mental energy to keep up with “things” making the rounds. She sent me an “urgent” copy of one I hadn’t seen in ages, that one about MS paying you if you sent so many emails.
I know there are several good sites which catalog and warn about such urban legends, but they escape me at the moment (i.e., probably in this lifetime ). How about giving me a couple of good addys I can pass along to her so she can check out things she gets or hears about? Many thanks.
Thanks, crew. I’ve now bookmarked Snopes so my computer will remember it even if I can’t.
I hadn’t been there in ages, took a fresh look last night and had totally forgotten how much is there that doesn’t even remotely relate to computers or even scams and frauds of any kind - real “folklore”.
(Edit, a P.S.) I was happy to see there’s a clear link to the specific one I mentioned right on their home page, so she doesn’t even have to hunt for it.
