I'll concur with BDH on both points brought up in his final paragraph.
Most rumors that are simply rumors can be defused with a bit of common sense. If it sounds like complete bullshit...it probably is.
The second point is also true...people won't make stuff up about someone for no reason at all. Of course, the "reason" that is spoken of could be as simple as "I wanted to start a rumor"...
