BEWARE OF PAPER IN THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE...

I have earlier written that I am not able to verify if this is a true story though I heard that it was circulated in Mandarin via SMS a few months back.

Reader, Kristina, left a comment to advise that Hoax-Slayer had investigated this story and deemed it a hoax as the incident was unsubstantiated.

===================================================================================

BEWARE OF PAPER AT THE BACK GLASS OF YOUR VEHICLE

NEW WAY TO DO CAR JACKING

Heads up everyone. Please, keep this circulating...

You walk! across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside.
You start the engine and shift into Reverse. When you look into
the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice
a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you
shift into Park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your
car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing
your view.

When you reach the back of your car, that is when the
car hacker's) appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and
take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off
in your car.

And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car.
So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your
money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity is
now compromised!

BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.

If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away.

Remove the paper later.

I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to
women.

A purse contains all kinds of personal information and identification
documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong
hands.

Please keep this going.After all,prevention is better than cure....

Although plausible, thank goodness it all just a hoax. See link below:
