Latest Email Hoaxes

All email hoaxes are deliberate and carefully crafted email messages warning about some impending disaster, asking to avoid doing certain things or false viruses.

One specific feature of all email hoaxes is that they compel the reader not to delete it upon reading but send it to as many people as possible, say at least ten people in the next five minutes or else you'll be struck with a great misfortune. If you mailed as per the instructions, you're told that within the 24 hours a long cherished dream of yours will be fulfilled. Another sure give away is the message's poor spelling and grammar, which is an indication that it's not genuine.

Some very interesting email hoaxes that were circulated recently on the net were;

• The National Australian Bank has gone bankrupt
• Pets have died after licking floors cleaned by Swiffer Wetjet cleaning system
• Children suffered laryngospasm upon consuming liquid candy that was intended to be mouth spray

• A notification from New Zealand police which warns recipients that they are under suspicion of financial misappropriation

• The claims that a school boy was diagnosed with AIDS after consuming packaged food contaminated with blood from a cook who had AIDS
