| Anyone heard about this?????? : Mon, 02 Jul 2007 17:52:13 -0500 > >This was written by a guy from KVLY-TV in Fargo. This is true. >Scary! > >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.

Great minds think alike...As I was reading the post I was thinking, "I'll have to check that out on http://urbanlegends.about.com/". I check all strange sounding emails on that site. I think I've ever only found one email that was true. The thing I wonder about though is how many people get ideas from these emails and try to do these things.

| I heard of this before. It is always scarey to be approached by a stranger now a days.
