Internet Hoaxes
The Internet is a fast and convenient way of sending and obtaining information, but it’s also a very easy way to spread misinformation. And new hoaxes pop up almost every day about anything from shocking celebrity deaths to mystery objects and foods. Here are three examples of Internet hoaxes.
Pay what you weigh
On April 1, 2011, New Zealand Air began advertising a one-day fare sale-pay what you weigh. The airline’s website offers visitors a chance to pay a dollar amount that was equal to their weight in kilograms.
The idea was “more weight = more fuel = more cost” and many people believed it. The promotion brought thousands of visitors to the company’s website and became a popular news story. In the end, though, the promotion turned out to be an April fool’s joke.
Croc on the loose
While the streets of New Orleans were still flooded after a terrible hurricane, a frightening email was sent around the Internet. It included a photograph of an immense crocodile over five meters long.
According to the message, it had been swimming around the flooded city eating people.
It was later discovered that the photographs at the crocodile were of one that was caught in the Congo years before.
Earn money through emails
The following email hoax fooled many people. The sender claims that a large company will pay you to send their email to as many people as possible. For every person that you send the email to, the company promises you will receive $5; for every person that person sends it to, you’ll get $3; and for every third person those people send it to, you will be paid $1. To make the lie even more believable, the sender says that at first, he thought it was a hoax, but the company soon sent him $800.
