Yosi, Perfume Scam and the Serial Parkist

When I moved to my new job, I have resolved to stop smoking. I am well aware of the dangers of nicotine to the SKIN and yes to the body but having close friends to smoke-jam-chismis with proved too much of a come on to resist. So every after a meal or when we feel like it, we go down (me, buffy and the I have yet to intoduce Ms Fi) to the parking lot to kill ourselves with one nicotine stick at a time.

Tonight before going for a smoke, Buffy forwarded to me an email that talked about the perfume scam. This according to the email is the latest modus operandi to hit our modus ridden metropolis. The scam is easy, innocent looking guys will approach you while parked in a gasoline station or a mall to ask what perfume you are wearing. They will then proceed to sales talk branded perfumes sold at ridiculously low prices. (Pinoys being inherently cheap - wants to smell expensive at a low price- will take the bait). They will ask you to smell the sample which will turn out to be 'ether' (substance that will make you lose conciousness). After passing out, they will take all your valuables - wallet, cp, etc. I dont know if this is true (the email has loopholes galore - where will they leave you after you pass out, how and why they are allowed to sell 'fake' perfumes inside a mall) but I just want to give a warning to my three readers.
Incidentally, have I told you that Buffy is a serial parkist? He will park after coming to work and even if he is already parked, once he saw a more convenient parking space, he will go out and transfer to that space. He will transfer yet again once a more convenient space is freed. I totally understand his concerns, he wants to be out of the office as fast as possible, I just think it's hilarious. But you know what, I think I will be like that (and more) once I start driving. In which case, I will now be serial parkist 2, attack of the queer parkists. Hahahaha. Go Chuchubells.
