Top 10 Hoaxes of All Time
VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton
Don't believe everything that you see... Just because you're seeing it on the news, reading it in the newspaper or hearing it on the radio does not make it true. Sometimes, it's a simple mistake or misunderstanding. Other times, there's something more malicious at play, and someone is actively trying to fool the public – either to teach them a lesson or to gain fame for themselves.
