I love Snopes (dot) Com for the ability to weed out the scary into the factual.
Have you ever gotten an email from a relative of friend telling you you MUST do something OR you can do something to prevent some other dire happening?
Snopes.com is a place where you can check out the “rumor” and see if it is a reality or a false belief.
For example: in April of 2015 via Twitter someone started this: Costco will start selling Marijuana in bulk. Clicking this link will reveal the reality.
OR this one:
Did you know about the reverse ATM pin entry notifying the police? Good if you did not, it is not true!
When you get an email from a friend or a stranger, check out the validity of the story at Snopes.
