So it seems like it's that time again. I recently got another email that I've seen circulating around. I had done my research on it earlier, but the third time I got it, I figured it was time, yet again, to show how awesome some emails are.
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 you certainly do NOT want this to fall
into the wrong hands.
Please keep this going and tell all your friends
Well, as you may have guessed this isn't totally real. Sure you could always add the line, "Proved by SNOPES" to add some street cred next time you pass this message along, but this has no real conclusive evidence of being an issue. Certainly something to keep an eye out for IF you do happen to see a note on your back windshield. For the most part, this is a plausible scenario, but is simply fabricated (maybe it happened once and no one really knows).
Got the info from here.
