Here's another great website - it not only tells you what the hoax is, it also tells you whether or not its harmful to your account.
This link will take you directly to the Coca-Cola hoax info, but when you get there, right in the middle is a pull-down menu that says "Alphabetical Index" -- pull that down and select the first letter of the hoax you want to check out (ie, "C" for the Cracker Barrel hoax, "B" for the Bath & Body Works hoax, etc.)

I too had to send this original email I posted about to just about EVERYONE in my email address book. I am so tired of getting this junk --- and get this --- Christy is a friend of mine who sends me this stuff constantly -- well I started getting duplicates and I wondered why...then I realized that one of her friends had taken advantage of all our email addresses that were listed on Christy's emails, and now I get stuff from HER too!! Can you believe that one?! I don't have the slightest clue as to who this person is -- I only recognized the address from Christy's list to me!!
Here's a good tip: When you send a mass email out,
ALWAYS use your BCC option (blind carbon copy) so that no one else has access to your friends and co-workers email addresses!
