i got a scary E-mail....anyone else?

I don't know if it is for real or not, but it sounded scary enough for me to pay attention....

Be careful. I was approached yesterday afternoon around 3:30 PM in the Wal-Mart parking
lot at University Drive in 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 before 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, 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.

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.

I've gotten that chain letter warning...don't know if it's true but it does sound plausible.

i always thought that sniffing ether is not what knocked you out...that your mouth & nose had to be covered for it to work, but it seemed scary enough to question.

Didn't get the email, but the first time I watched that show Myth Busters they busted it and proved its an urban legend.

Urban legend
I remember that from awhile ago and that it was on snopes.com as a UL.

But still, always be on guard if you're alone and soemone comes up to you wanting you to see or do soemthing...
