>Take this seriously, I (Simon) know someone who was
approached last
>weekafter taking $500 out of an ATM by some guy who asked
what perfume she
>was wearing. They asked her if she wanted to buy some cheap
imitation and to
>have a smell (she declined). These guys hit Sydney and
Melbourne 6 weeks ago
>and now they are doing it here in Perth. I received this
email and thought
>you may want to advise your partners, daughters and friends
this experience
>also happened to one of my son's friends in a Rundle Street
Car Park
>recently... fortunately, she had heard about it before
& didn't fall for it.

>I was approached yesterday afternoon around 3.30pm, in the
Coles parking lot
>at Surry Hills by two males, asking what kind of perfume I
was wearing.
> Then the 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, I
pointed at them, and
>told her about how I was sent an email at work about
someone walking up to
>you at the malls, 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 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, and
>wanted to do the same for you.
>
>IF YOU ARE A MAN AND RECEIVE THIS PASS IT ON TO ALL THE
WOMEN YOU KNOW!!!
>Ladies this happened to me yesterday and I didn't smell the
perfume either
>thanks to this email. I was over by the Post Office in the
parking lot in
>Surry Hills at lunch time when I was approached. So either
day or night, it
>doesn't matter. There were 3 guys together when I was
aproached. I called
>the police when I got back to my desk.
> Like the email says,
>
>LET EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS, YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY,
CO-WORKERS, WHOEVER."
