0 Rolig Loon Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Not that I am aware of, and I have to wonder who would create and maintain such a list ..... and who would even define what qualifies as a hoax. ETA: I think the example you just added to your OP sounds more like misinformation rather than a hoax. There are plenty of people in SL who have false ideas about the way things work, and feel no hesitation about spreading the word. They aren't trying to fool you. They genuinely believe that you can fly faster if you keep clicking your mouse all the time, or that it's OK to use temp rezzers to increase your parcel's prim allowance.

0 Nyll Bergbahn Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 This is the only page and it's not really much use except to tell you what to do after you've been scammed. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Scams#Buying_Linden_dollars If you google second life scams or hoaxes, you should find a medley of them.

0 Ansariel Hiller Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 If somebody says they heard something from a good friend, then it's definitely 100% a hoax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Claireschen Hesten Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 no list i know of but a good rule to remember is if you didn't hear it from a linden it's not true often these scare rumours come about because one merchant or person has issues with another merchant or person and they really want to damage their reputation a lot of the time the rumours you see have been regurgitated many times over the years and i suspect by noobs who really don't know their a lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IE: when people send out msg's telling you to delete Items and or not rez them because they will steal your $L and these items are in just about everyones inventory Welcome to Second Life Answers, NikitaJ. There isn't a list of SL hoaxes, and to be honest, in the three plus years I've been a resident of Second Life, I haven't come across any hoaxes. However, use your commonsense. Never accept an object from someone you do not know. Never click on a box that may drop down onto your screen asking you for linden dollars (unless you are shopping and have requested to buy an item!), and if you see an object in your inventory that you do not recognise, do not rezz it. Have fun in SL, and stay safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
