Nice of you to want to warn people but this is an email hoax.

I do not forward spam, hoax or joke emails, they clog the internet and are one of the ways spammers harvest our email addresses. Please consider doing the same.

Info about hoax

There are plenty of emails that go around harvesting people's emails. This is not one of those unfortunately. I have an acquaintance to whom this happened already. And oh yes, her bag was stolen along with everything else inside her car. So this is definitely one of those. I thought I'd share for those who want to be alert and listen. Those who do not want to, I just hope they don't come accross this situation because they would fall trap to this.

I dont' know if it's a hoax or not, but some guys DID once try to sell me perfume outside a subway back in CT. I shoved them off, and once I got inside I told the manager on duty that there were people outside harrassing their customers. I didn't know about the ether part then, I just hate being sold to outside of a storefront.

I don't know if its true or not, but its probably not a good idea to go sniffing things strangers shove in your face.

Just in general.
