Many virus hoaxes: ·Claim to describe an extremely dangerous virus (thereby playing on one’s paranoia) ·Use techno-babble to make impressive-sounding (but impossible) claims (thereby garnering authority by inducing confusion) ·Claim that the report was issued or confirmed by a well-known company (thereby garnering authority by association) ·Ask you to forward it to all your friends and colleagues (thereby… I dunno, clogging the Internet?) ·Are started by a guy named Pinky The last word (and valuable info, to boot!) ---
