6. Lonelygirl15
“Lonelygirl15” was just an average teenage girl blogging about her personal problems, until she started giving some details about a bizarre and frightening cult that her family was allegedly involved with. She maintained a MySpace page where she interacted with her fans, but within a few months, it was revealed that the video had been scripted. In September, the name of the actress was revealed, and it was announced that the Lonelygirl15’s entire story is a hoax. The web series stayed popular until 2008, and became one of the internet hoaxes that fooled the world.
