Perfume Email (False)

Hoax-Slayer reported this a false story. The email has been circulating for many years now. The only changes made to it is the country it had occurred in.
====================================================================

It was about 3 weeks ago, I was at the Shell station getting diesel.
It
was about 11:30pm. 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 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, 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 3:30 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 els! e.

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.


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 WIFE/WOMEN FRIEND.
