Exclamation This Is A Hoax!

I HATE...Hoax E-Mails. This is one of them! If you ever get an E-Mail that is threatning, a warning, some missing kid, or Microsoft going to send you a check for passing an E-Mail on.....PLEASE, PLEASE, check with SNOPES.com to be sure the E-Mail is LEGIT BEFORE passing it on to others. We need to STOP E-MAIL Hoaxes by NOT Forwarding them!!!

This Hoax is documented here:
Urban Legends Reference Pages: Evan Trembley

This only takes a min. of your time...PLEASE PEOPLE...check your facts! You can put snopes on your Favorites so it's easy to get to, and they have a great search engine!!

Thank you...this is one of my PET PEEVES!!!

And it's one of mine also...along with the ones that practically threaten you with God's wrath if you don't forward it to at least 10 people...and expect a miracle in 4 days....heck, if I thought that would happen I'd forward 24/7!
