RE: Urban Myths RE warning to women

[Guest guest]

Hey chippy,

I saw this one on the show Urban Myths exposed on A & E, they did all thier

research and proved it false. I guess laying on the couch and watching t.v

has it's good points at times

>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.
