Welcome to HoaxKill. The web service dedicated to telling as many people as possible not to forward useless petitions, urban legends and false virus warnings.
What is HoaxKill?
Most Internet users are familiar with virus warnings, chain letters and petitions which arrive in their mailbox. Many of these messages spread false information and waste a lot of bandwidth by asking you to forward them to all your friends.

The HoaxKill service was created to help you identify hoaxes and to actively combat them. To find out if a message is a hoax, you can look for it on this website.

Once you are certain that a message is a hoax, you can send it to [email protected]. Our software will then extract the addresses of all previous recipients from the message and inform them all that the message is a hoax.

---------


You can also submit it to:
http://www.csicop.org/chain/form.html

You receive an e-mail chain letter, and you know you shouldn't forward it to ten of your friends: they'll curse your name for clogging up their mailboxes and for wasting Internet bandwidth. But you don't want the bad karma that they say comes from breaking the chain...

At Chain Letters Anonymous, we understand the anxiety of breaking the chain. We want to help you overcome "forward-button addiction" and the superstitious intoxication that brings computer networks to a crawl.

Not everyone has the strength to quit cold turkey, and we fully understand. To help you gradually stop sending chain letters, volunteers at Chain Letters Anonymous are available 24-hours a day in case you "fall off the inbox" and really, really need to send a chain letter to ten of your friends.

But if you don't get help from us, please, please, do not send that chain letter to anyone else.
