    Red face terrorist activity

    PLEASE READ AND DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES.

    Seven women have died after inhaling a free perfume sample that was
    mailed
    to them. The product was poisonous. If you receive free samples in the
    mail
    such as lotions, perfumes, diapers etc. > throw them away. The
    government is
    afraid that this might be another terrorist act.
    They will not announce it > on the news because they do not want to
    create
    panic or give the terrorists new ideas. Send this to all your friends
    and
    family members.

    LMAO-that was in my email box this morning, the address at the bottom had the name and number included (perhaps a currently unpopular individual??) I removed them to help the individual avoid potential embarrasment.

    I particularly like the
    They will not announce it > on the news because they do not want to create panic or give the terrorists new ideas.
    ...hmmm new ideas???

    What do you think guys? Shall we all stop checking our mail??

    If you want to make God laugh....make plans.

    No, I think it's a hoax. It wouldn't "give new ideas" if it's already been done...and I don't really receive a whole lot of perfume in the mail anyway, hehe. Thanks for posting, though.

    Wow, and I read a fiction book not to long ago (last couple of years) that was a lot like this. Some guy had gotten a hold of small pox and was putting it on perfume samples. Sounds like someone else read the book recently, and maybe didn't realize it was fiction.

    I think you should call the Texas guy and ask him about it. When he denies knowledge, expalin to him that you are not a terroist looking for new ideas, you just wanted to get more information.

    souleman is right--You should forward that to someone in the Harris County DA's Office to see what their take on it is.
