Peeka Boo I See You! Donating Member | Women Please Read!!! NEW WAY TO DO CAR JACKINGS (NOT A JOKE) Heads up everyone! Please keep this circulating...You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into Reverse . When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car, that is when the car jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car. And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car. So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised! BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED. If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away, remove the paper later and be thankful that you read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of personal information and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Thanks for the heads up! People put the ad flyers on cars all the time at the local walmart, normally they're just irritating. I'll treat them differently now!!

Peeka Boo I See You! Donating Member | Ya know i really want to say why is everyone always trying to find a scam out of everything this is somethng that really could happen and it just gives us insite to see how this could happen. Just because you found an article that says this is a scam doesn't mean that it couldn't happen! I think that this is something that could indeed happen and what about the crooks who see this email and get the bright idea to do it and also think well everyone thinks it's a scam so it will be much easier. I'm not trying to be rude but i seeit a lot here when someone posts something trying to be helpful someone always googles it and says o it's a scam sorry but i had to vent. Wouldn't you rather be safe then sorry?
