WARNING! Please Read!

[Genie!]

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 mo ney. He then
reached out of the car and handed me paper that was laminated, ithad
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 PMin 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<
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 k nows 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 BEAWARE.



From Kingsport -
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, CO-WORKERS, whomever.
It helped me. The first thing that popped into my head was
this e-mail warning.

Scare Chains

Scare Chains are a special class of Urban Legend that purport to be warnings for the ladies (or others). They tell terrible stories about people (usually women and children) who are out and about and who have something awful happen to them. While the stories tend to give good advise, the actual events depicted in them are usually made-up or based on something that happened years ago. They certainly do not depict a current event. Consider, if any of these things happened recently, you would be reading about it in your local newspaper or seeing it on the TV news.

Bad Guy Selling Perfume
September 2000

This one says a bad guy is selling perfume which is actually ether and they are going to haul you away when you pass out. Sounds like the plot of another slasher movie. The problems with it are that simply taking a sniff of ether or chloroform will not knock you out. That only happens in the movies. You must breath them through a saturated rag for several seconds before you start to go under. So, as long as you don't stick the perfume bottle up your nose and snort the liquid up into your sinuses, you are not going to be knocked out. Again, don't send this on.

Ether eh? That's a great idea. Think I'm going to run over to my local ether store and get a case.


Mmmm, smells nice, doesn't it? [img]wink.gif[/img]

[SHATOUSHKA]

lets talk about the post in detail for a moment.
naturally it stands out as false merely for the
fact that i can't see anyone trying to blow
money on ether in such a random and insecure
fashion as to steal wallets etc.

its seemingly MORE clever just to pretend you
are selling perfume and have people buy the shit
you never intend on sending anyway.

and secondly, if people were sniffing this mess
and then passing out... i certainly would think
that SOMEone would notice and notify authorities...
especially since this supposedly happens in
the public eye.


now... just wanted to say that....

[SmokinLizzies]

Ah shit, now you all know how I make money.

[Genie!]

HEY, I thought you told me that you make your money by......OOPS, I remember I said I would never tell anyone or give away your uuummm little secret! *LOL
