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 3:30pm in the Walmart parking lot
at University Drive,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, pointed 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.
And 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 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 FRIENDS, AND PLEASE
BE ALERT, AND AWARE!!
