Google before forwarding it

Did you know that most heart breaking emails that you get are hoaxes? Kids gone missing, presidents thrown out of their legal position, kittens stuck into a jar and the sort, they’re all a load of bull. Even if you can’t possibly imagine why someone would send a hoax like that, check it. It’s very likely that it’s a college boy’s prank. It’s VERY EASY to find out whether or not you should forward the email by copying a section of the email (names are good) and searching it through Google. Chances are that it’s a hoax and listed in one of the hoax-busting websites. If it’s genuine, you’ll probably find news articles about it or blogs or something, I don’t know, because I’ve yet to receive a genuine one.
