WORTH READING WRITTEN BY A GUY AND FAMILY WHO WERE ON VACATION

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 sicko’s in parking lots with perfume. Be careful. I was
approached yesterday afternoon around 5:30 PM in the Wal-Mart parking
lot by two men 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 some one
walking up to you at the malls or in parking lots and asking you to
SNIFF PERFUME that the y 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.
