I got this in my email this morning, it was a forward from a friend.
Never heard about this before.
Just wondering, anyone know anything about this.
I hate forwards and get tons of them all the time, but this one freaked me out a little.
Be careful, please pass along to other women out there!
This is something that happened to us on the way back from vacation 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 temperature and 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 to her offer to smell new cologne. Then about 3 weeks ago, I was at a service station in Brampton getting gas. It was about 9:30 p.m. I was approached by 2 men and 2 women in a car. The man that was driving asked me 'What kind of cologne 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 laminated paper that had perfume on it. I looked quickly at it and gave it back. I said, I have no money. He said That's OK; we take cheque, 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 I 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 mailboxes and sickos in parking lots with perfume. Be careful. I was approached yesterday afternoon around 5:30PM in the Wal-Mart parking lot by two males asking what kind of perfume I was wearing. Then they asked if I'd like to sample some fabulous new scent they were willing to sell me at a 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, 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 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. 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.
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 Marlborough Mall in
Calgary 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 got
Back my desk.
Like the email says above let everyone know.
the email address on there was from [email protected]
