What Kind of Perfume are you wearing/SCAM

[Kirssstens]

Not sure if this is the right place to post but got an email talking about this new SCAM that everyone should be aware of.

A person walks up to you in the parking lot or whereever and asks you "What kind of perfume/cologne you're wearing?". You reply with a keep on walking or you don't have any money, etc. etc. They say "Ok, but here try our new perfume samples" and hand you a paper with samples on it. You bend to smell but it's not "perfume", its ETHER!! When you sniff it, you pass out and they ROB YOU!!

Take care friends and pass this information on.

The only reasonable thing do do when someone ask you to sniff perfume in a parking lot IMO is skin your smoke wagon and blast those fools. That will teach them.

This is an urban legend. It's not real.

I lost count of the number of times I had to bring home the letter from school to my parents warning them about L S D laced tattoos with Popeye, Mickey Mouse, etc, being given to elementary school kids. It was standard paperwork to bring home on the first day of school with the rest of the pack.
