WARNING from POLICE - Carjacking

Can't Post | Private Reply
This was sent to me via email from a friend yesterday.

'WARNING FROM POLICE - THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN

BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE

NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)

Heads up everyone! Please, keep this circulating... . You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into Reverse..

When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view.. When you reach the back of your car, that is when the carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.

And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car. So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!
BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.

If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of personal information and identification documents, and youcertainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.

Before forwarding emails of this kind it is alway worth checking for validity of the information contained in the email. In addition to the link Tony gives, there is also one for Snopes.com:

I got multiple email telling me not to open an Email that says Bin Laden has been captured and hung.
The person got all kinds of people worked up. I looked it up it was from around 9/11 time year and
years ago. Check the date on these things also. The virus checkers and such have had this one
closed for years no danger.
