davieG Posted 24 January 2006 Posted 24 January 2006 ALL CAR OWNERS AND CAR DRIVERS, PLEASE READ (originated from Alliance Cornhill insurance) Be aware of a new car-jacking scheme. You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside, lock the doors, start the engine and select reverse. You look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space and notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift back into park or neutral, unlock the doors and get out to remove the paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car the car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. Your engine was running and you would have left your handbag or briefcase in the car. APART FROM NICKING ANYTHING OF VALUE, THEY MIGHT FIND YOUR ADDRESS AND THEY ALREADY HAVE YOUR KEYS! Remember, if you see your rear view blocked like this just drive away and remove the paper later ! It is stuck to your window! THIS SCAM IS HAPPENING IN LONDON RIGHT NOW AND WILL SURELY SPREAD TO OTHER AREAS Be thankful that you read this email.and forward it to friends and family especially to women! JUST BE AWARE AND TAKE CARE. IT WILL SOON ARRIVE IN YOUR AREA

The People's Hero Posted 24 January 2006 Posted 24 January 2006 It's Darwinian theory - survival of the least stupid!
cisono Posted 24 January 2006 Posted 24 January 2006 what about Robin Hood. a Prince of such a community I don't think he ever resorted to such scam. Plus, if he had, he would have given your car to the poor
Scarby Posted 25 January 2006 Posted 25 January 2006 i personally dont believe to be the truth, it may have happened to 1 person but its not a 'craze' people worry too much and this doesnt help
Guest Posted 25 January 2006 Posted 25 January 2006 I don't think he ever resorted to such scam. Plus, if he had, he would have given your car to the poor No he wouldn't, because it's all made up.
