Worst Online Hoaxes of All Time-4

Still Too Good to Be True
What's better than meeting someone online for love? Getting paid to do it, which is how an Australian farmer found himself kidnapped in . Several men pretended to be a woman, enticing Des Gregor, 53, to come to to get married and receive $85,000 in gold as dowry. When he got there, he was taken hostage and threatened with having his limbs hacked off unless he paid them the same amount. Fortunately, police duped the kidnappers and Gregor was safe. Gregor learned his lesson, apparently – "Just be careful - make sure you check everything out 100 per cent," he said.

A few days before April Fool's Day, one of our coworkers took some vaction time. One of the guys in our department completely stripped her desk of everything from paperwork to coffee mugs to family photos. He left a basic pile of office supplies, plus a New Employees Handbook. When she came back to work on April 1st, she had to spend almost an hour putting her desk back together. She did not appreciate the joke, nor did our manager.
