Women need to be alert! Read on to make you aware.
This is something that happened to us on the way back from vacation 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.
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, 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 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 mailboxes and sickos
in parking lots with perfume. Be careful. I was approached yesterday
afternoon around 5:30 PM in the Walmart 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 a 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 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 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
BEWARE. IF YOU ARE A MAN AND RECEIVE THIS, PASS IT ON TO YOUR WOMEN FRIENDS.
