It was about 3 weeks ago, I was at the Shell station getting diesel. It was about 1:30pm. 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 cheques , 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 a joke. Here is the e-mail I was sent:

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 mailboxes 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 want to 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 to wards 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.
