>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:
>
>'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, 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. 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 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.
