Hoax Warning:

The "State Police Warning: DON'T FLASH HEADLIGHTS AT ANY CAR WITH NO LIGHTS ON!!!!" scam is by sent by spammers who encourage you to send it to everyone you know.

Here is an example of the scam email - Remember it is FAKE:


    STATE POLICE WARNING
Body: ----------------- Bulletin Message -----------------

Body: DON'T FLASH HEADLIGHTS AT ANY CAR WITH NO LIGHTS ON!!!!

Police officers working with the DARE program have issued this Warning:

If you are driving after dark and see an on-coming car with no
headlights on, DO NOT FLASH YOUR LIGHTS AT THEM!

This is a common Bloods member "initiation game" that goes like this:

The new gang member under initiation drives along with no headlights,
and the first car to flash their headlights at him is now his "target".

He is now required to turn around and chase that car, then shoot
and kill every individual in the vehicle in order to complete his initiation
requirements.

Police departments across the nation are being warned.

Their intent is to have all the new bloods nationwide drive around
on Friday and Saturday nights with their headlights off. In order to
be accepted into the gang, they have to shoot and kill all individuals in the first auto that does a courtesy flash to warn them that their lights are off.

Make sure you share this information with all the drivers in
your family!? Please forward this message to all your friends and
family members to inform them about this initiation ritual.
