With earthquakes hitting one country to another in the past couple of months, earthquake email hoaxes are getting rampant. One example is the 8.4 earthquake prediction, aka earthquake California prediction. The emails and text messages saying that there will be an 8.4 earthquake that will hit California are not true. Geologists say they are hoaxes.
