Hoax

A hoax is a deliberate deception or trick intended to mislead individuals or groups, often for personal gain, amusement, or to provoke a reaction. Hoaxes can take various forms, including false information, fabricated events, or misleading claims, and are commonly disseminated through media, social networks, or word of mouth. They can target individuals, organizations, or the public at large, and may lead to significant consequences, including public panic or financial loss. The study of hoaxes intersects with psychology, sociology, and media studies, as it explores the motivations behind deception and the impact on society.
