Very Important! Please pass on to the Ladies in your business or office!I received this from a friend that works at the U of A hospital. This was brought to their attention yesterday by the Edmonton City Police.

Hello all, Alberta Social Services has received this bulletin from Paul Bevan, Sexual Assault Unit. PLEASE READ BELOW. THIS COULD SAVE YOU AND LET YOUR SISTERS AND DAUGHTERS KNOW ABOUT THIS. THIS IS THE SEVENTH EMAIL I GOT ABOUT THIS. THREE REPORTS FROM CALGARY, FOUR FROM EDMONTON.

Here is the first incident, all play out the exact same manner.

A man came over and offered his services as a painter to a female putting gas in her car and left his business card. She said no, but accepted his card out of kindness and got in the car. The man then got into a car driven by another gentleman. As the lady left the service station, she saw the men following her out of the station at the same time. Almost immediately, she started to feel dizzy and could not catch her breath. She tried to open the window and realized that the odor was on her hand; the same hand which accepted the card from the gentleman at the service station. She then noticed the men were immediately behind her and she felt she needed to do something at that moment. She drove into the first driveway and began to honk her horn repeatedly to ask for help. The men drove away but the lady still felt pretty bad for several minutes after she could finally catch her breath. Apparently, there was a substance on the card that could have seriously injured her. This drug is called 'BURUNDANGA' and it is used by people who wish to incapacitate a victim in order to steal from or take advantage of them. This drug is four times more dangerous than the date rape drug and is transferable on simplecards. So take heed and make sure you don't accept cards at any given time alone or from someone on the streets. This applies to those making house calls and slipping you a card when they offer their services.

Next we're going to have a bunch of posts celebrating how they have inherited a large sum of money from their long lost relative in Nigeria.


But the OP had good intentions, good on ya. Had this been written better I most certainly would've fell for it as well.

Oh and at the OP's name and this situation...
