Excellent collection of info on where to report different types of spam, from child porn to Nigerian 419 to bogus stock opportunities and fraudulent prescription drug sales. I ran across it while looking for the Email address to forward the latest 419 scam email to (419.fcd@usss.treas.gov). Spam Reporting Addresses |

This is the site of James Randi, one of the better-known debunkers out there. His site is an educational resource on "the paranormal, pseudoscientific and the supernatural," and is devoted to providing reliable information about paranormal claims. His foundation is famous for offering a $1 million prize to anyone who can show -- under satisfactory observing conditions -- any type of paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event. To date, the prize remains unclaimed. James Randi $1 Million Paranormal Challenge |

A good online translation service, if you're working with one of the more common languages on the web. It only handles French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Italian, Korean, and Portuguese. But what it does, it does well. Babelfish Translation Service |

A good "debunking" site that posts the garbage chain letters going around the internet, and then picks them apart to find the truth. This is the first place I check when I'm looking for facts to explain to my less-technically-savvy relatives why they *shouldn't* be forwarding whatever chain letters they're receiving.
