Sersious scam in Galway

    Just heard something tonight, and thought I'd post it here to warn others.

    Theres people in Galway pretending to sell perfume and offering people to take a sniff on a card or something. If you are out and about and are approached to sniff at a sample of perfume - DO NOT. Its not perfume. You pass out and then perfume people rob you.

    Out of interest, was anyone here on boards a victim of this scam.

    That's not a scam op, that's a timeless pick up line.

    Approaches attractive member of the female species, "Excuse me does this smell of choloroform to you?" Jackpot.

    To be fair folks, if someone offers you a free sample of "Scent of Rohypnol" and you accept, you deserve what you get.

    This has been on every forum on boards at this stage. You seem to over look, who'd waste good drugs on you?
