Fake Email Alert - Target and Walmart Gang Initiation
Another one bites the dust...
So the latest in fake emails going around that I received is one about a Mexican gang called MG that is targeting females in Houston and Washington D.C. This is a variation of an email that has been going around since 2005, and has been classified as fake by Snopes.com. Below is a copy of the version of the email that I received (if yiu can't see the email below, click on the full post link at the bottom of this entry):
TARGET AND WAL-MART ALERT!!!
ANYONE WHO SHOPS AT WAL-MART or TARGET!!!!!!
There is a new gang out called The MG. They are a Mexican gang. They go to Target and Wal-Mart to look for black females, young or old. They get into the gang by killing a black female. They are currently in Arundel County, Prince George & Washington D.C.
There is no telling when they will be in this area. Therefore, please be aware of your surroundings when going to these locations. Whenever possible take a male or another female with you. This gang is dangerous, they do not hold out, they will not hesitate to take your life or the life of your loved ones.
PASS THIS ON TO ALL BLACK FEMALES (AND MALES)
THIS IS NOT A GAME! PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
According to Snopes.com, the rumor appeared to have begun in July of 2005 in Memphis, Tennessee when a woman says she overhead in a bathroom two 'gang members' talking about this initiation. The rumor was unsubstantiated - there was no guarantee that the woman who reported it actually did hear such a conversation or, even if she did, that the people she heard speaking weren't playing a practical joke on her. In addition, Major Pat Lovett of the Metro Gang Unit in Memphis, Tennessee, says that in her 25 years on the force in Memphis she had never know gang initiation to include murder. Initiations, she said, are more likely to include assault and battery or robbery. For the full story, visit http://www.snopes.com/crime/gangs/memphis.asp.
All females should be aware of their surroundings because of the country we live in, but this particular email seems to be a fake.
