SweetCaliGuy4evr, a Killer Loose On the Internet-Fiction!
Summary
of the eRumor: A warning from the "State Police" saying that there is someone online with the name
SweetCaliGuy4evr and that he is a suspect in the murders of 56 women who have been contacted via the Internet.
The
Truth:
There are no warnings that we're aware of about
"SweetCaliGuy4evr."
The message is similar to
another warning that has been circulated, however, about an Internet
killer named "Slavemaster" and that is partially true. That eRumor also claims that
56 women have been killed, but that is not true. A man using the "Slavemaster" screen name
is in custody for the deaths of up to five women that he lured through the
Internet.

real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:
State Police Warning!!!!!! Serious
This is something from the State Police -- Please read this "very carefully"...then send it out to all the people online
that you know.
Something like this is nothing to take 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 SweetCaliGuy4evr 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, and Excite, so
far. This is not a joke! Please send this to men too...just in case.
