safety warning
here is a copy of an e-mail I received. I tried to send it to most of you, but wanted to be sure all could see it. Please be careful! Elizabeth
PLEASE READ...Warning to all women
>
>Hi all-thought this was worthy of passing along. This was sent to my
>wife, by a close friend. The last comments are from her.
>
>This is something that happened to Ryan and me on the way back from
>Texas 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. So this does happen.
>
>To all my female friends- It was about 3 weeks ago, I was at the shell
>station in Auburn getting gas. I was about 11:30pm. 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 not 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, mother, sisters,
>etc. Our world seems to be getting crazier by the day. Pipes bombs in
>mailboxes and sickos in parking lots with perfume. Be careful. I was
>approached yesterday afternoon around 3:30 pm in the Wal-Mart 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 a 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
>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 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. The
>first things that popped in my head was this e-mail warning.
