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 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 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.

Okay im confused.

Did you write that e-mail. Or how come the guy in the e-mail had same encounter with you, same time, and same errthang?

nah wah oh pascal. the scams naija come up with everyday. can u remember that thing of people calling you on the phone, then after a while!!! death. we need God now more that ever to protect us. i hear of otoko, scams like this and other evil things men come up with and am like i lived in naija (and still am only because am schooling in america) for 19 years and nothing touched me. GOD BE PRAISED. nah God oh. it can happen to anyone. pascal thank God for ur life u know some have a different story now from yours.

This is so true. I live in Houston and almost fell for it last week. Be careful!
