I don't know about everyone else, but I tend to get lots of emails that make me say: is this true? Recently a friend sent me an email saying that there are these flesh colored spiders living in toilets that have deadly venom from their bite that have killed 5 women. Sounds Scary! Makes you wonder, is it true? There are the emails about add your name to the list for a school project, or don't buy gas from certain gas stations. I know that these messages get sent around because people think they are true and they care about people and want their friends and loved ones to be safe. However, 99% of the time, these emails are false. I always research those messages before I think about sending them on. I hope you all do the same. If we all do just a bit of research, we can hopefully cut down on the amount of false messages floating around out there.
There are several ways to look things up. First there is www.snopes.com. Or, you can Google anything! I Googled the spider message and found many many sites saying that the message was false and why it's false. If you aren't sure if something is true or not, and you don't want to look it up, please feel free to send it to me, and I will check for you. I just hate seeing these messages go around that are not true, but contain some scary scenarios!
Thanks for doing a bit of research before sending these types of messages on!!
