Subject: BEWARE OF THIS SCAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Written by a guy from KVLY-TV in Fargo ; see bottom
of msg. This is true. Scary!
This is something that happened to us on the way back from vacation
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 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, 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:

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 Wal-Mart 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 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 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. I 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, CO-WORKERS, whomever. It helped me.
The
first thing that popped into my head was this e-mail warning. MAKE
SURE YOUR DAUGHTERS KNOW!
