Hi Geeks just received this from a friend and thought it was worth sharing to warn you guys against the following ;


CIRCULATE...SERIOUS




This is something that happened to us on the way back from holiday 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 fuel. 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 told him 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
again that I had no money. He said, 'That's 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 mail boxes and sickos in parking lots with perfume. Be
careful. I was approached yesterday afternoon around 5:30 PM in the
ASDA carpark 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 receiv
ed 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 carparks and
asking 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 FRIENDS.

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 carpark 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. Like the email says above,
LET EVERY
ONE 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.

This is a hoax email hun, I've had variations on this email over the years, one of them using Walmart in a US town rather than Asda here

Really - Oh well I know I am gullible just didn't think I was THAT much! It always freaks me out especially when it is friends that send me these emails on, I always forget to check them out on the net first. Thanks Min. xxx
