Hey folks,

I was just sent this, the woman that emaild its boss was approached in this manner, he wrote the last part of the email.





>>PLEASE READ
>>
>>It was about 3 weeks ago, I was at the Shell station getting diesel. It
>>was bout 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 I am hoping
>>you will share this with your wives, daughters, mother, sisters, etc. Our
>>world seems to be getting crazier by the day. Pipe bombs in mailboxes; and
>>sick-os in parking lots with perfume. Be careful. I was approached
>>yesterday afternoon around 3:30 PM in the Tesco car park near the
>>University of Ulster by two males who asked 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 e-mail some weeks ago warning of a 'Wanna
>>smell this perfume?' scam.
>>
>>Someone walks up to you at the shopping centre's or in parking areas and
>>asks 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 knows what else.
>>
>>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. 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 the car park at lunch time when I was approached. So 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 home.
>>
>>
>>
>>Like the email says above,
>>
>>LET EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY,CO-WORKERS, whoever. It
>>helped me.

I don't understand how he received the email after meeting the people but warned the woman about the email he would not receive for 3 weeks.

Tesco car park near the Univeristy of Ulster? The nearest Tescos is miles from UU. But still scary! Knowing me I would have sniffed it even though I'm a bloke, I'm stupid like that.

Am I the only one that is very sceptical about these things. This is yet another email hoax. These thingf really anoy me, especially the way people believe them and then keep sending them to me or posting them on forums. It only takes 2 minutes to google these to find out if they are real or not. TBH I have not come across a real one yet.

Any email that says "Send this to everyone you know" or anything similar is bogus and is just creating more junk. Just delete them and we'll all be the better for it. They just waste bandwidth and disk space not to mention our time.

If there's a real issue with something like the above message, you'll hear about it in ways other than emails. And if you have any suspicion that it may be true do as Ben did and look on hoax-slayer or snopes or other resources on the net.

My apologies, this is indeed tosh...

I should have checked, but as a freind of a freind said they were approached I just took it as gospel.*blush*
