Kým neexistoval internet tak hoaxy šírili (často podplatení) podomoví obchodníci ktorí sa často vydávali za niekoho iného. Chodili z dediny do dediny a šírili medzi neznalým obyvateľstvom informácie ktoré si nemali ako overiť. Rovnako aj vtedy sa hádzala vina na menšiny. Za všetko mohli niekedy poliaci, inokedy židia, alebo nemci, slovania … podľa toho čo sa komu hodilo. Aj vďaka tomu vtedy dobre prosperovalo prevádzačstvo.
