Hoax Web Sites
Recommendations from WEB FEET
The Internet is an outstanding source for information; however, not all Web sites should be trusted. Some sites may appear legitimate, but in fact are jokes or deliberate hoaxes. These sites fall into that category. They are excellent examples for educators who are teaching students how to identify bogus information--a useful skill, especially when citing sources in a research paper.
