Advance Savvy! Hunting out Bogus Web Pages!

Sometimes a page will look like it's legitimate and then you find out later that it's not. Let's look at an example. With the site below, Answer the following questions:

• Who created it?
• What is the bias?
• Is it too good or too bad to be true?
• How deep do you have to go to see what's going on in this site?
• When was it last updated?
• Is the information accurate? (very important in this case!)

The following link is a bogus web page. Please take a close look at this website. When you click on the link a new window will open up with this website. Notice this is an "org" site, which means it should be sponsored by a non-profit organization.
