    One of the best resources out there to use with dubunking urban myths, particularly internet hoaxes is http://www.snopes.com

    My techies at work swear by it, and it's been a useful educational tool for library patrons.

    These scammers are getting more and more inventive too. My ex girlfriend was looking for a new place to rent last month, and found a place advertised on Craig's List for $700 a month that was perfect! Well, she sent me the description and picture, and it just looked TOO perfect, and also looked like it was worth about $500 a month more than they were asking for rent.

    To make a very long story short, she had responded, they said they were doctors who were currently working as missionaries in Africa, and to send them the money and they would send her the keys. There was actually a series of emails, and they were trying very hard to sound convincing, even using the fact that they were supposedly Christians to make them sound legitimate. But they really did their homework on the place for rent, going so far as to know the actual owner's name and pretend to be her, and make up an email address one digit off from hers! My ex had done a Google search for this place, and found the LEGITIMATE ad for the rental, which WAS $500 a month higher, and found the real owner, a lady who had moved out of state.

    The real owner had no idea of the scam going on, and ended up reporting the whole thing to the police, who have turned it over to the Feds. So now they are scamming actual rental ads, placing their own ad for the same property on Craig's List - and how many people send them the first month's rent of $700? And how many properties are they advertising, in how many cities? Unbelievable.

    It just brings up the old adage, that if something seems to good to be true, it probably is. Check things out thoroughly before becoming a victim of your own naivety.

    In a case like that, I would meet the people at the rental. I usually ask questions about everything. This world has too many sickos in it!
