Subject: FROM THE STATE POLICE: NOT A JOKE PLEASE READ THIS: State Police Warning for Online
WARNING FROM THE STATE POLICE.. USA (Not a joke.)
State police warning for online: Please read this “very carefully”..then send it out to all the people online that you know.
Something like this is nothing to be taken casually; this is something you DO want to pay attention to. Think of it as a bit of advice too.
If a person with the screen-name of Monkeyman935 contacts you, do not reply.
DO not talk to this person; do not answer any of his/her instant Messages or e-mail. Whoever this person may be, he/she is a suspect for murder in the death of 56 women (so far) contacted through the Internet.
Please send this to all the women on your buddy list and ask them to pass this on, as well. This screen-name was seen on Yahoo, AOL, AIM, and Excite so far.
This is not a joke! Please send this to men too…just in case! Send to everyone you know! Ladies, this is serious.
