The New Scam In Nigeria by Radiant(f): 11:20pm On May 01, 2008 |
A friend of mine forwarded this to my mail. It goes: "I received this e-mail yesterday and it sent chills up my spine. Please read this. It is not a joke. Dear Friends, I am hoping you will share this with your wives, daughters, mother, sisters, etc. Our world seems to be getting crazier by the day. Pipe bombs in mail boxes and sickos in parking lots with perfume. Be careful. I was approached yesterday afternoon around 13:30 pm in a car park by two males who asked 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 an e-mail some weeks ago warning of a 'Wanna smell this neat perfume?' scam. Someone walks 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. 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. 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". |

I got that email about 2 years ago. Why would any reasonable woman be sniffing and buying perfumes at a street corner? |
