As a tech support person, I regularly get forwarded emails from people that question whether or not the forwarded email is “real”. It might contain info about a virus or something as strange as the safety of freezing water in plastic water bottles.

One of the resources I point my users to is this really useful website: www.snopes.com. Snopes.com has information about many of the most popular urban legends and myths and provides good information for users who are looking for the truth about these things. If you haven’t already, check it out!
