   Was sent this today, thought i'd better share it.
ALL CAR OWNERS AND CAR DRIVERS PLEASE READ Be aware of new car-jacking
scheme.

You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside. Then you
lock all your doors, start the engine and shift or put into reverse. You
look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space and You
notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.

So, you shift the gear stick back into park or neutral, 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 car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and
take off!! Your engine was running, you would have left your purse in
the car and they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.

BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED IN GLASGOW AND
MANCHESTER AND IS MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY!!!!!!!!

Just drive away and remove the paper later! It is stuck to your Window
and be thankful that you read this email. I hope you will forward this
to friends and family especially to women! A purse contains all
identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone getting your home
address. They already HAVE your keys!!!

I have been sent this warning and asked that it be distributed widely to
alert everyone - JUST BE AWARE AND TAKE CARE IT WILL PROBABLY SOON
ARRIVE IN YOUR AREA

	Ladies. Be aware of a new scam. A man will approach you in the street and ask you to show him your tits. DO NOT whatever you do show him your tits. He is, despite his clever distraction only trying to get a look at your puppies!! Please pass this to everyone in your address book, except your mam, who, lets face it wouldnt need asking twice would she?
