My Quiet Zone

Beware!

April 20, 2008

It is quite depressing that there are lots of modus operandi being carried out by many criminal elements around us. Here is one good example. I have just received this email from a friend and I thought of sharing it with all of you so  you too will be forewarned. Here it goes. . .

 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,
mother,
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 3:30 pm in
a car park by
two males who asked 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
e-mail some weeks
ago warning of a ‘Wanna smell this neat perfume?’scam.
Someone walks
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.
They’ll take your wallet, your valuables and heaven
knows what else.

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, pointing
at them and told her about how I was sent an e-mail at
work.

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 WIFE/WOMEN FRIEND

So there it is. I, myself have encountered diferrent kinds of criminal’s modus operandi,  I’d probably post some of them just to let you be aware and eventually avoid them in the future.

I always wonder where these people get these things. They’re sent via e-mail but are they confirmed by police reports?

some people are just out there to confuse and scare people away.

true, vince, it scares people sometimes. but whether this is true or not, it makes us aware of what may come around us and we would already know how to deal with them, just in case. just like what happened to me before that had i not known the crooked tactics, i could have fallen to these criminals’ modus operandi. i’m just thankful i heard on tv about their style. so, i just told them,”style nyo, bulok!” thanks vince, i appreciate your comment.
