:stop Just got this email.... Important Warning

Important Warning


This e-mail was sent to me, please pass along to other ladies.

Subject: Serious Business

I received this email from a friend and thought you may want to advise your partners, daughters and friends.

People - its a crazy world. Look out and warn your loved ones.

I was approached yesterday afternoon around 3.30pm in the Coles parking lot at Surry Hills 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 this 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, I pointed at them and told her about how I was sent an email at work about someone walking up to you at the malls, 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 email, 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, and wanted to do the same for you.

These guys hit Sydney and Melbourne 6 weeks ago and now they are doing it in Perth and Queensland.

IF YOU ARE A MAN AND RECEIVE THIS PASS IT ON TO ALL THE WOMEN YOU KNOW!!!

I called the police when I got back to my desk. Like the email says, LET EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS, YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY,
CO-WORKERS, whoever!!!!!
