Not a Joke E-mail Got this this morning from a family member who is in the NYPD, thought I'd share it with you all because it's not a joke. Please keep safe. :2hearts2: Worth passing along.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning..!!!! Warning..!!!! Warning..!!!! WARNING FROM POLICE THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE-- NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (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 carjackers 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 pi ece 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. Please keep this going and tell all your friends . |
Thanks for sharing, I also got that email. |
That email has been circulating for years. I looked it up on hoax slayers and found this: Car-Jacking Scheme Warning - Paper on Rear Window It claims it is a hoax but guess it could be happening...always be careful! |
No worries, just a hoax! snopes.com: Flyers on Car Windows Carjacking |
Even if it is listed as a hoax, there is a very real possibility that people use this method. It makes sense because you really would not think twice about jumping out and removing something from the back of your car. If you are ever in this situation keep going and don't get out. |
thanks for sharing |
I know it was originally a hoax, but since the email has been circulating for years, I'll bet there is more than one low life thinking about doing it now. Just in case, I won't remove any paper from the window while leaving the car running, and purse inside. |
Yes, years ago it was a hoax, but it happened a few times in NY in June, I know that for sure. Just wanted everyone to keep safe.:2hearts2: |
