Hi John,
It was forwarded to me and I passed it on.  I should have checked it out 
first.
Thanks for your helpful information.

>>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 cr azier by
>>the day.  Pipe bombs in mailboxes and sickos in parking lots with
>>perfume.  Be careful.  I was approached yesterday afternoon around
>>5:30 PM in the Walmart 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 a 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 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.  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.
