SENT IN BY Stephanie P.

POLICE WARNING:

A man came over and offered his services as a painter to a female putting gas in her car and left his card. She said no, but accepted his card out of kindness and got in the ca r. The man then got into a car driven by another gentleman. As the lady left the service station, she saw the men following her out of the station at the same time.

Almost immediately, she started to feel dizzy and could not catch her breath. She tried to open the window and realized that the odor was on her hand; the same hand which accepted the card from the gentleman at the gas station.

She then noticed the men were immediately behind her and she felt she needed to do something at that moment. She drove into the first driveway and began to honk her horn repeatedly to ask for help...
The men drove away but the lady still felt pretty bad for several minutes after she could finally catch her breath. Apparently, there was a substance on the card that could have seriously injured her. This drug is called 'BURUNDANGA' and it is used by people who wish to incapacitate a victim in order to steal from or take advantage of them. This drug is four times dangerous than the date rape drug and is transferable on simple cards. So take heed and make sure you don't accept cards at any given time you are alone or from someone on the streets.

This applies to those making house calls and slipping you a card when they offer their services.

PLEASE SEND or PASS THIS E-MAIL ALERT TO EVERY FEMALE YOU KNOW!!!!

Thanks Stephanie.

I was leaving the grocery store Friday evening and about to get in my car when a very polite, well-dressed young African American male approached me and asked if I could give him a ride because he was stranded. I remembered seeing the young man sitting in the grocery store with a Caucasian male but didn't think much of it.

I asked where he lived and said he should contact his mother, which he responded, Belmont (Country Club) area, and he could not contact her. I apologized for not being able to give him a ride because we weren't not personally acquainted and said he should call a taxi. When I drove away I noticed the Caucasian male nearby who gave me a very eerie look and appeared visibly high.

The young men appeared to be between 16-18 and this could have been legit but I wasn't about to find out.

A former neighbor who was Director of a Youth Agency picked up several kids who appeared stranded and in need of a ride. Needless to say the neighbor never made it home and his body was found several days later in a field.

I know we don’t think this couldn't happen to us because we know all the tricks. But maybe a friend or love one could benefit from knowing this Information.

Thanks for sending!
