Hoax
A **hoax** is a deliberate deception, typically intended to trick or mislead people into believing something false. Hoaxes can involve fabricated stories, fake news, forged documents, or staged events, and are commonly spread through media, including the internet and social networks. The purpose of a hoax may be for humor, attention, financial gain, or to cause confusion. Throughout history, famous hoaxes have impacted public opinion and even led to significant social consequences. Hoaxes are distinct from honest mistakes or urban legends, as they involve deliberate intent to deceive.
