True or False

It seems as if the minute a new person logs on to the Internet they get a flood of email warning of dire consequences if they open an email with a certain subject line. There are viruses that can be transmitted via email, however a lot of these so-called viruses are imaginary. They are myths.  Let's face it, is it really believable that Disney would giveaway trips by simply responding to an email, or Bill Gates sending money to people who kept an email chain letter moving through cyberspace? There are many of these email hoaxes floating around the Internet at any given time. 

Want to check to see if it is true?  Go to http://snopes.com   They are a great resource on urban legends, virus information and just general rumors.  Before passing an email on, check at Snopes.com and see if you are giving correct information.  Your friends will thank you.
