I just want to pass this on. I don't know if it is a hoax or not but while wondering if it could be I thought to myself..all it takes is one wacko to read something like this and think it is a good idea. So I am passing it on just in case....
MAKE SURE YOUR WIVES AND DAUGHTERS KNOW!
This was written by a guy from KVLY-TV in Fargo; see bottom of msg.
This is true. Scary!
This is something that happened to us on the way back from vacation
last week. At first I didn't think much of it until now. The reason
we were a little suspicious is we had been riding in a jeep all day
with
100 degree temps and we stopped at a truck stop for something to
drink.
When I was leaving, a young girl followed me out and asked what kind
of cologne I was wearing.
Well, after 7 hours in the car sweating, I don't think you could
tell
if I was or was not wearing any cologne. We just got in the jeep and
said no thanks.
Then it was about 3 weeks ago, I was at a service station in
Birmingham getting gas. It was about 9:30 pm. I was approached by 2
men and 2
women in a car. The man that was driving asked me 'What kind of
perfume do you wear?'
I was a bit confused and I asked him 'Why?' He said, 'We are selling
some name brand perfumes, at cheap prices.' I said I had no money.
He then reached out of the car and handed me paper that was
laminated;
it had many perfumes on it. I looked quickly at it and gave it back.
I said, have no money. He said it is OK, we t ake check, cash, or
credit
cards.
Then the people in the car began to laugh. I just got in my car and
said no thanks.
Then I received this e-mail yesterday and it sent chills up my
spine.
Please read this. It is no joke. Here is the e-mail I was sent:
Dear Friends:
I know not all of you are women that I am sending this to, but am
hoping you will share this with your wives, daughters, mothers,
sisters, etc.
Our world seems to be getting crazier by the day. Pipe bombs in mail
boxes and sickos in parking lots with perfume. Be careful. I was
approached yeste rday afternoon ar ound 5:30 PM in the Wal-Mart
parking
lot by two males asking what kind of perfume I was wearing. Then
they
asked if I'd like to sample some fabulous scent they were willing to
sell me at very reasonable rate. I probably would have agreed had I
not received an e-mail warning of a "Wanna smell this neat perfume?"
scam.
The men continued to stand between parked cars, I guess to wait for
someone else to hit on. I stopped a lady going towards them,
pointing
at them and told her about how I was sent an e-mail at work about
someone walking up to you at the malls or in parking lots and asking
& nbsp; you to SNIFF PERFUME that they are selling at a cheap price or at
least compare to which one you like best.
THIS IS NOT PERFUME...IT IS ETHER!
When you sniff it, you'll pass out. They'll take your wallet, your
valuables and heaven knows what else. If it were not for this
e-mail,
I probably would have sniffed the 'perfume' but thanks to the
generosity of an e-mailing friend, I was spared whatever might have
happened to me.
I wanted to do the same for you.
PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL YOUR WOMEN FRIENDS AND PLEASE BE ALERT
AND BE AWARE. IF YOU ARE A MAN AND RECEIVE THIS, PASS IT ON TO YOUR
WOMEN FRIEN DS.
Ladies, this happened to me yesterday and I didn't smell the perfume
either, thanks to this email. This is true. Believe me, I know. I was
over by Big Lots in the parking lot at lunch time when I was
approached.
So either day or night, it does not matter. There were 3 guys
together when I was approached. I called the police when I got back
to my desk.
Like the email says above, LET EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS - YOUR
FRIENDS,
FAMILY, CO-WORKERS, whomever. It helped me. The first thing that
popped into my head was this e-mail warning.
MAKE SURE YOUR DAUGHTERS KNOW!
