Got this email today and figured it was important enough to share with the community.
This is apparently happening in Calgary! Thought I would share. 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 temperature and 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 to her offer to smell new cologne.
Then about 3 weeks ago, I was at a service station in Brampton getting
gas.
It was about 9:30 p.m. I was approached by 2 men and 2 women in a car.
The man that was driving asked me 'What kind of cologne 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 laminated paper that had perfume
on it. I looked quickly at it and gave it back. I said, "I have no
money."
He said "That's OK, we take cheque, 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
Martha Calder, Court Liaison Clerk, R.C.M.P. Selkirk Detachment
(204-482-1222 ext 224).
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 I 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 sickest 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 new scent
they were willing to sell me at a 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. 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. 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 Marlborough Mall in Calgary 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.
