Wiki: A hoax is a deliberate attempt to deceive or trick people into believing or accepting something which the hoaxer (the person or group creating the hoax) knows is false. It is possible to perpetrate a hoax by making only true statements using unfamiliar wording or context, such as in the Dihydrogen monoxide hoax. Many hoaxes are motivated by a desire to satirize or educate by exposing the credulity of the public and the media or the absurdity of the target.
Example: Is the Loch Ness monster real or is it just an elaborate hoax ? My grandpa believes that the moon landing was a hoax . It was a hoax . It could be a hoax .
