Citizens Advised to Delete Walmart Hoax Text Message

According to MSNBC, law enforcement authorities in Arkansas and around the country are urging residents to relax - to pay no attention to a phony text message that has recently begun to resurface across the southeastern United States.

The text message claims that there will be a gang initiation at aWal-Mart store sometime this week that may possibly involve a shooting or other serious criminal activity. The message states that it is from "police" and is a warning for "women."

... Anyone receiving such a message should simply delete it. Individuals are discouraged from forwarding such misinformation to others.
