:o THIS IS AN E-MAIL CIRCULATED TO ALL ITS STAFF BY A MAJOR INSURER.

"Be aware of a new hi-jacking scheme.

Here's what they do: You return to your car left in a car park, unlock your
car and get inside, start the engine and shift into REVERSE and when you
look into the rear view mirror to back out of your parking space you notice
a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.

So, you either switch off the car or leave the engine running 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 the car that is when the hi-jackers
appear out of no where, jump into your car and take off!

The door was unlocked, your keys were in the ignition, maybe the engine was
running, (ladies would have probably left their handbag, with their purse,
mobile phone etc; in the car) and they practically mow you
down as they speed off in your car.

Should this happen to you, just drive away and remove the piece of paper
that is stuck to your window later....and be thankful that you read this
email. If you think appropriate, forward this to all your friends and
family...especially women!

A purse contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT want anyone
getting your home address. They already have your keys!" :rolleyes:
 
It sounds only slightly more believable than the email I got a few days ago :


Please Take It Seriously!!!!

Friends,

This message is serious and has been passed to us from Cheshire RFU.
Could you please cascade as quickly as possible as this came through our
NHS web page.
For your information
A couple of weeks ago, in the Odeon cinema, Festival Park, a person sat on
something sharp in one of the seats. When she stood up to see what it was,
a needle was found poking through the seat with an attached note saying,
"you have been infected with HIV".

The Centres for Disease Control in Birmingham, reports similar events have
taken place in several other cities recently. ALL of the needles tested HAVE been found positive for HIV. The CDC also reports that needles have
been found in the coin return areas of pay phones and coke machines.

Everyone is asked to use extreme caution when confronted with these types of situations. All public chairs should be thoroughly but safely inspected prior to any use. A thorough visual inspection is considered the bare minimum. Further
more, they ask that everyone notify their family members and friends of the
potential dangers, as well.

The previous information was sent from Hanley police station to all of the
local councils in the Staffs area and was interdepartmentally dispersed.
We were all asked to pass this to as many people as possible."

PLEASE PASS ON TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE

That'll be it then!! :lol: :lol:

Personally I thought that the giveaway was the mention of the CDC; a slight slipup there considering that we don't have an organisation called the CDC in the UK, it's an American organisation! :lol:
 
Gareth, allow me to present you with the Brian Hartigan Trophy for Puncturing Myths and Instilling Reason 2005! Thank goodness someone knows where to access sites which restore reason and rationality, or Merlin would have everyone bug-eyed like rabbits caught in headlights.
