Scam- Paper on back windshield after gassing up . . . Thx Paul C!

May have been sent this before but still good to know.

Subject: Fw: Warning from Police ( worth reading ))








This is the thing these days, with people out of work and needing cash
(mainly for drugs!).  Beware, it's headed your way.

Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public parking area.
As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car.
When I got home and took it off, it was a receipt for gas.  Luckily my
friend had told me not to stop as it could be someone waiting for me
to get out of the car.  Then we received this email yesterday:

WARNING FROM POLICE:  THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN.

BEWARE OF A PIECE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE (A NEW
WAY TO DOCARJACKING!)  (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 it to fall
into the wrong hands.

Please keep this going and tell all your family and friends!
