It was about 3 weeks ago, I
was at the shell in Auburn [Massachusetts] getting gas. It
was about 11:30 p.m. 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 perfume, at cheap prices." I said I had no money. He then
reached out of the car and handed me a 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 then said it is OK, we take check, 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 that 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, mothers, 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 3:30pm in the Walmart parking lot at University Drive (Des Moines),
by two males, asking 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 email some weeks ago, warning of a "Wanna smell this neat
perfume?" scam. 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, pointed at them, and told her about how I was sent a e-mail
at work about Someone walking 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.
And they'll take your wallet, your valuables, and heaven knows what
else. If it were not for this e-mail, I probably would have sniffed the
"perfume." But thanks to the generosity of an emailing 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 AWARE!!
IF YOU ARE A MAN AND RECEIVE THIS
PASS IT ON TO YOUR WOMEN FRIENDS!
Ladies this happened to me yesterday
and I didn't smell the perfume either, thanks to this email! This
is true! Believe me, I know! I was over by Big Lots in the parking lot
at lunch time when I was approached. So either day or night, it does not
matter. There were 3 guys together when I was approached. I called the
police when I got back to my desk. Like the email says above, LET
EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS. YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, COWORKERS, who ever.
It helped me. The first thing that popped in my head was this
email warning.
