A good example would be the Survivor 2299 Fallout 4 hoax back in November 2013, this fellow went all out by getting all the details right, website linked to ZeniMax (owns Bethesda), using similar site scripts as them, all those morse codes and hidden messages and even having a working telephone number to call to. Everything seemed like it was a genuine marketing campaign of Bethesda to promote Fallout 4, it sure looked official, and thus reliable. Up until early December, when Bethesda disproved it and the hoaxer admitted the hoax. But it ran for weeks and a lot of people considered it legit.

Which comes to show that, you cannot always trust everything at face value, no matter how legit/reliable it may seem.
