i have to admit i was a bit suprised by these hoax websites, especially the RYT Hospital Website. It seems so realistic and well put together. Once you search through the website you can obviously see it is fake. There are no contact numbers or contact information at all. On a normal doctors or hospital website, there are emails, numbers, doctor’s names and evidence that it is a ligit healthcare facility. It is a website that plays around with medical improvements and clinical treatments for the possible future. The website is well put together and looks very professional. It displays stories of new research done on patients and lists the latest technological advances that “supposedly” do not occur anywhere else in the world. This website even has links to take you to further information on certain medical services provided through this Hoax of a website. Another major thing is how the website has a copyright sign before its hospital name, down on the bottom of the website. It lists a home, privacy notice and disclaimer link at the bottom. The creators really tried to make this website look realistic, and i have to say they did a pretty great job.

Yea those hoax websites where really crazy. When I was looking at the one about the pregnant man I didn’t even think twice, I just thought it was real. I showed my fiancee the site and she thought it was real and was amazed at how real it looked.
