Truth or Fiction Dot Com

We all get junk sent from friends claiming all kinds of things. Most of the time these emails are sent out from well meaning friends. One out of every 200 or so may be true. Before you forwarded an email you ought to check it against http://www.truthorfiction.com/. Below is my personal checklist regarding emails.

1. If an email claims that it is true, it is not. Just like the person you know who is always swearing something is true. You know they’re lying.
2. God does not believe in “Luck” and neither should you. Forwarding emails to you friends for Luck will just p!$$ them off and result in loss of respect and possibly the friendship.
3. Nobody in “name your country” needs help depositing funds through you.
4. Disney, Microsoft and other companies will never ask you to forward an email or reward you for forwarding emais.
5. Never forward an email that tells you to forward it. If you need to be told to forward a email how legitmate do you think it is?
6. When all else fails there is always a way to block emails from friends that won’t listen to your advice about not forwarding emails ;-)
