How to Recognize a Hoax 

I read that recognizing a hoax is not near as complex as eveyone thinks it
is.  You can generally figure out a hoax by reading the first few lines, if
it says 'send this to everyone you know' or if it is using technical
soundinglanguage or credibility by association.  A hoax can come in various
kinds of emails such as a chain letter or a virus.  You can visit the
following web site for additional information on a hoax
