"BURUNDANGA" drenched name card (hoax)

Snopes reported that there are no true incidents reports about victims who received "BURUNDANGA" drenched name card. Urban Legends also reported that they are mostly false stories.

==================================================================================
From My InBox:

TO : ALL

Plse be careful.
Yesterday, I was at the Carrefour carpark after shopping and about to start the car engine. Suddenly, one man appeared holding a name card and asking me to wind down the window to give me the name card. I refused using the sign language but he kept on pestering. I was terrified and quickly started the engine and sped off. Fortunately, I locked the car doors immediately I got in.
Thank you for the warning email I received earlier.

Subject: Fw: NAME CARDS

Must Read and Please be careful out there !!

A man came over and offered his service as a painter to a female putting
gas in her car and left his card. She said no, but accepted his card out
of kindness and got in the car. The man then got into a car driven by
another gentleman. As the lady left the service station, she saw the men
following her out of the station at the same time. Almost immediately, she
started to feel dizzy and could not catch her breath. She tried to open
the window and realized that the odor was on her hand; the same hand which
accepted the card from the gentleman at the gas station.

She then noticed the men were immediately behind her and she felt she
needed to do something at that moment. She drove into the first driveway
and began to honk her horn repeatedly to ask for help.The men drove
away but the lady still felt pretty bad for several minutes after she
could finally catch her breath. Apparently,there was a substance
on the card that could have seriously injured her.

This drug is called 'BURUNDANGA' and it is used by people who wish to
incapacitate a victim in order to steal from or take advantage of them.

This drug is four times more dangerous than the date rape drug and is
transferable on simple cards.

So take heed and make sure you don't accept cards at any given time alone
or from someone on the streets. This applies to those making house calls
and slipping you a card when they offer their services .

PLEASE SEND THIS E-MAIL ALERT TO EVERY FEMALE, OR EVEN MALE THAT YOU KNOW
