Maria at Dell Hospital Money for Forwarding Hoax – Hoax-Slayer

Outline:
Message claims that Dell Hospital will donate 15 cents to help pay medical expenses for five year old Maria who is in hospital after being brutally raped by a man who has AIDS.




Brief Analysis:
The claims in the message are utter nonsense. Neither Dell Hospital nor any other organisation will donate money to help a sick or injured child when a particular message is forwarded or reposted. All such claims are false. This message is just one more in a long series of absurd hoaxes that claim that a child will receive donations when a message is sent on.
