    MAKE SURE YOUR DAUGHTERS KNOW!

    This was written by a guy from KVLY-TV in Fargo; see bottom of msg.
    This is true. Scary!

    This is something that happened to us on the way back from vacation
    last week. At first I didn’t think much of it until now. The reason
    we were a little suspicious is we had been riding in a jeep all day with
    100 degree temps and we stopped at a truck stop for something to
    drink.

    When I was leaving, a young girl followed me out and asked what kind
    of cologne I was wearing.

    Well, after 7 hours in the car sweating, I don’t think you could tell
    if I was or was not wearing any cologne. We just got in the jeep and
    said no thanks.

    Then it was about 3 weeks ago, I was at a service station in
    Birmingham getting gas. It was about 9:30 pm. 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, have no money. He 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 no 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 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 mail
    boxes and sickos in parking lots with perfume. Be careful. I was
    approached yesterday afternoon around 5:30 PM in the Wal-Mart parking
    lot 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 very reasonable rate. I probably would have agreed had I
    not received an e-mail warning of a “Wanna smell this neat perfume?”
    scam.

    The men continued to stand between parked cars, I guess t o 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 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 or at
    least compare to which one you like best.

    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 else. 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
    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, CO-WORKERS, whomever. It helped me. The first thing that
    popped into my head was this e-mail warning.

      이건 scam 이 아니고 urban legend 라는 겁니다.

      참고로 이런것은 익명으로 인터넷에 퍼뜨리는것이야 어쩔수 없는 일이긴 하지만, 이런것을 동료한테 포워딩한다는것은 동료한테서 칠칠치 못하다는 구박을 받기 딱 좋은 일이죠.

      이런것 받으면 hoaxbusters.org 같은 곳에서 찾아보세오. 비슷한 내용으로 여러 버젼이 돌고 있습니다.

      예전에 어떤 이메일에서는 gas station pump 손잡이에 AIDS 바이러스가 묻은(?) 바늘을 부착시켜서 개스를 주입하는 사람들이 AIDS에 감염시키려는 나쁜 사람들이 있다는 얘기가 있었는데, 이거는 그 수위는 좀 낮지만 비슷한거 같네요.
      근데 어느 특정 지역에서만 얘네들이 활동한다는 건가요?
      설마 이런식으로 조직이 전 미 지역에 퍼져있다는건 아니겠죠?

      흐흐흐 urban legend 이런거 가지고 영화 만드는 경우도 있죠.

      냄새 맡게 하는 척하다가 코를 틀어 막는게 아닐까요?

      학교 다닐때 개구리 해부 안해보셨나요? 손바닥 반만한 개구리 한마리 마취할 때도 에테르 흠뻑 적신 솜을 밀폐된 병안에 같이 넣어서 몇분 기다렸는데.. 개구리 보다 몇백배 큰 사람이 향수 샘플링 하는 정도로 맡아서는 말 그대로 간에 기별도 안갑니다.
      만약 에테르가 그렇게 막강한 위력이 있다면 그걸로 개스총 만들겠죠..
      위에 어떤 분이 말씀하신 AIDS virus 묻은 바늘도 좀 섬ㅉㅣㅅ한 이야기긴 하지만 현실성이 없는것 같습니다. HIV는 공기와 접촉하면 금방 파괴된다고 합니다.

      혹시나 이런일이 우리 H1B 가족들에게 생기면 어떻게 하나 하는 노파심에 올렸는데 기우였나 보군요. 좋은 주말들되시고 한국이 프랑스전에서 승리하기를 기원합니다.

      그냥 한번씩 웃으면서 넘어가는 거죠. 뭐..
