Internet Hoaxes, Scams and Why We Believe Them

TestFreaks has posted a pretty good list of internet hoaxes and the reasons we believed them. My favorite had to be the recent Bigfoot discovery…the press just ate that one up.


Bigfoot's Body Found in Georgia – in 2008 one of the biggest stories was that of a couple of guys who claimed to be Bigfoot trackers – Matthew Whitton, a police officer with the Clayton County, Georgia Police Department and Ricky Dyer, a used car salesman (and a former security guard), announced they found the dead body of Bigfoot. No doubt they were trying to draw attention to their phony expedition business. The two went so far as to call a press conference in California.
