With the advent of Information society false and inaccurate information represents one of the major problems. Hoaxes and unsolicited commercial e-mail messages (SPAM) are an important example of such information. A conceptual solution together with the developed system for automatic hoax recognition is presented. Hoax recognition is done in several parallel steps to increase system accuracy and robustness. Each step is implemented as a separate module that outputs measure of similarity. Fuzzy logic expert system makes the final decision whether the received mail is an actual hoax. The system is available as a free e-mail service of the Croatian CERT.
