Does anyone have the website that dispels whether a warning about something running on the internet is a hoax or not? I just got a warning about a world cup email, and believe that it is a hoax by what is being said, however, need to really make sure before I blast the sender for not checking first.
Many thanks in advance,

Trouble is, it's trying to bail out the Titanic with a teaspoon.
It sounds genuine to me. Events such as the World Cup are often used as a ruse to get people to open unsolicited e-mails. It would help if companies like eBay didn't send out warning messages which look exactly like hoaxes.

If you think it sounds like a hoax, it probably is.

The very act of opening it tags you as a "live one" and there are spam mail programs that put your email address into their mailing list. My (and your?) service provider is quite good at sniffing out spam mail these days but I don't take the risk.
