This happened yesterday in Toronto: ALERT FOR WOMEN

 

I was approached yesterday afternoon around 3:30pm in the Walmart

parking lot at University Drive 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 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, pointed 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. 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 e-mail, 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. I want

to do the same for you.

 

 

PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL YOUR WOMEN FRIENDS, AND PLEASE BE

ALERT,

AND AWARE!! THIS APPLIES TO MOMS, DAUGHTERS, GRANDMOTHERS, AUNTS, SISTERS,

FRIENDS. IF YOU ARE A MAN AND RECEIVE THIS, PASS IT ON TO YOUR WOMEN

FRIENDS

AND FAMILY!
