from Texas last spring. 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 degrees 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 I was or was not wearing any cologne. We

just got in the jeep and said no thanks. So this does happen. To all my

female friends - It was about 3 weeks ago, I was at the shell station in

Auburn getting gas. It was about 11:30pm. I was approached by 2 men and

2 women in a car.

wear?' I was a bit confused and I asked him.'Why?' He said 'We are

selling some name brand perfumes at cheap prices.'

me paper that was laminated; it had many perfumes on it. I looked

quickly at it and gave it back. I said, I have no money. He said it is

OK, we take 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 not 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,

mother, sisters, etc. Our world seems to be getting crazier by the day.

Pipes bombs in mailboxes and sickos in parking lots with perfume. Be

careful. I was approached yesterday afternoon around 3:30 PM in the

Walmart parking lot at University Drive in Des Moines 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 a very

reasonable rate. I probably would have agreed had I not received an

email some weeks ago 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 malls or in parking lots and asking you to SNIFF

PERFUME that they are selling at a cheap price. THIS IS

NOT          PERFUME...IT IS ETHER! When you sniff

it, you'll pass out. They'll take your wallet, your valuables and

heavenknows what else. If it were not for this e-mail, I probably would

have sniffed the 'perfume' but thanks to the generosity of an emailing

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 FRIENDS.

>   This last note is from a friend of ours living in Asheville,NC

that is pretty close to home: 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, COWORKERS, who ever. It helped me.
