Urban Legends

At times you might have received certain emails on peculiar happenings throughout the world or even in your own country that threatens your safety or expressed concern for our own family members.

Example:-

Kidney stolen after a heavy party fling and left in a bath tub filled with ice cubes

A certain email attachment named 'Life Is Beautiful' going round the email world stating do not open this email with named attachment which has virus in it

Emails stating that if you send a particular email to a number of persons in your list, AOL or Microsoft will reward you for helping them to market their services

For more of such urban legends or false news, you can view it under Snopes which has a full reference of such scams or false news. Before you thought of forwarding such emails, think again and search it under Snopes first and update yourself with the latest creation. In this particular website, each news has been verified and explained as to why it was not real.

Sometimes I felt irritated by such emails even from personal friends who don't have the audacity to verify whether the emails they sent out are true or not even though it was with good intention. It flips me more when a learned person send it to you. What say you?
