*THE PERFUME SHOCK IS BACK*. This is the story of a real case that happened last week and that a friend is sharing.
A friend was put to sleep in the bathroom of a movie theater and everything was stolen from her and she doesn't remember anything, only that a woman gave her a perfume to smell.
I was also approached yesterday afternoon around 3:30 pm in the parking lot of the mall by two men who asked what kind of perfume I was wearing.
Then they asked me if I would like to smell a sensational type of perfume that they were selling at a sale price.
I probably would have accepted if I hadn't received this notice about THE PERFUME SHOCK.
The men remained between the parked cars, I imagine waiting for someone else to show up.
I stopped a lady who was walking towards them and warned her. I had been warned that in shopping malls or parking lots there are people who approach you to offer you to SMELL THE PERFUME they are selling but it is NOT actually perfume, IT IS AXTER.
When you smell it you faint and they take advantage of the opportunity to steal everything of value you carry.
PLEASE: copy this message and send it to your friends as they are operating everywhere.
PLEASE: send this to all the women on your list and ask them to pass it on.
oh, watch out, it's not a joke! Please send this to men too... they can tell their loved ones.
THUS WE CAN ALL PREVENT MANY TRAGEDIES... AND IN SOME WAY CONTRIBUTE TO, AT LEAST, CLIPPING THE WINGS OF CRIME A BIT
It is not a chain and it is important.
