Hmmm..  Now this is a twist:   Apparently snopes.com, a site famous for debunking most of emails’ “junk mail” (people will steal your stuff unless you send this email to 10 of your friends!) and other fakes, is hosting adware.  yes, adware!  Check out more here: http://www.ghettowebmaster.com/adware/snopes-funded-by-adware/

So where should you go when you get an email that elicits the alarm in your head to see if it’s true?   Well, apparently this scam (after running for over a year) raised such a stink, that they removed the adware from their site: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9059980&intsrc=hm_list
