Women be forewarned

Subject: Women be forewarned
Importance: High



This is something that happened to us on the way back from
Texas last spring. 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 degrees 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 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 the Shell station in
Auburn Hills getting gas. It was about 11:30 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, I 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 not 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 I share this with your wives, daughters,
mothers, sisters, etc.

Our world seems to be getting crazier by the day. Pipe bombs in mailboxes and sickos in parking lots with perfume. Be careful. I was approached yesterday afternoon around 3:30 PM in the Walmart parking lot at University Drive in Des Moines 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 a e-mail 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,
pointing at them and told her about how I was sent an e-mailat work about someone walking up to you at the malls or in parking lotsand 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.
They'll take your wallet, your valuables and heaven knows whatelse. 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. PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL YOUR WOMEN FRIENDS AND PLEASE BE ALERT AND BE AWARE. IF YOU ARE A MAN AND RECEIVE THIS, PASS IT ON TO YOUR WOMEN FRIENDS.

Ladies, this happened to me yesterday and I didn't smell the
perfume either, thanks to this email. This is true. Believe me, I know. I was over by Big Lots in the parking lot at lunch time when I was
approached. So either day or night, it does not matter. There were 3 guys together when I was approached. I called the police when I gotback to my desk.

Like the email says above, LET EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS - YOUR FRIENDS,
FAMILY, CO-WORKERS, whomever. It helped me. The first thing that popped
into my head was this
This came to me while chopping wood the other day. You've heard don't sweat the small stuff. I say save it for later and use it for kindling
