A unfunny urban legend?
I received the note below from a friend of mine, check it out.
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. It was about 11:30 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, 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 Drivein 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.
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.
