'Hacker warning' circulating via forwarded email tells recipients not to accept messages or friend invitations from a supposed email hacker named Christopher Butterfield.
Description: Email hoax
Circulating since: Aprl 2009
Status: False
I know with so much “information” circulating it is hard to know what is real or not. There are reputable sites out there to check the veracity of pictures, videos, and stories that circulate online. A quick search in your favorite search engine and/or a visit to www.snopes.com or http://urbanlegends.about.com/ can help inform you and reduce these circulating emails.
I hope this helps.

Subject: [WestsideForum] anyone on facebook?
Don't accept a friend request from CHRISTOPHER BUTTERFIELD; he is a
hacker. Tell everyone on your list because, should somebody on your
list add him, you'll get him on your list too and he'll figure out
your computer's ID & address. Please copy and paste this message to
everyone even if you don't care for them because if Butterfield hacks
them, he hacks you, too. CUT & PASTE THIS into the "What's on your
mind?" box.
later-
