< Recently on Inside Edition there was an article about several
< new scams to abduct women.
<
< In one, a man comes up to a woman in a Mall or Shopping Center and asks
< if she likes pizza. When she says she does, he offers her $10000 to
< shoot a
< commercial for Pizza, but they need to go outside where the lighting is
< better. When the woman goes out of the mall she is abduct and
< assaulted.
<
< Another ploy is a very nicely dressed man asks a woman if she would be in
< a Public Service announcement to discourage drug use. The man explains
< that
< they don't want professional actors or celebrities; they want the average
< mother to do this. Once she leaves the mall she is a victim.
<
< The third ploy, the most successful, a frantic man comes runningin to the
< mall and asks a woman to please help him, his baby is not breathing.
< She runs out of the mall following him and also becomes a victim.
<
< These have been happening in well-lit parking areas, in daylightas well
< as night time, all over the country. The abductor usually uses a
< van to abduct the woman.
<
< 'Inside Edition' set up a test in a Mall and 10 out of 15 women went out
< of the mall on the Pizza and the PSA scam. And all of them wentout of the
< mall on the baby scam. Please pass this along to your friends and
< family
< as now that it has been shown on nationwide TV there are
< bound to be copycats of this. The third one, I think, is the scariest.
< You might resist pizza or becoming a commercial celebrity...but who
< would
< be able to resist a frantic father asking for help for his child?
< I'm sure that one would get me.
<
< A woman was shopping at the Tuttle Mall in Columbus. She came out to her
< car and saw she had a flat. She got her jack and spare out of the trunk.
< A
< man in a business suit came up and started to help her. When the tire had
< been replaced, he asked for a ride to his car on the opposite side of the
< mall. Feeling uncomfortable about doing this, she stalled for a while,
< but he kept pressing her. She finally asked why he was on this side of
< the mall if his car was on the other. He claimed he had been talking to
< friends. Still uncomfortable, she told him that she had just remembered
< something she had forgotten to pick up at the mall and she left him
< and went back inside the mall. She reported the incident to the
< mall security and they went her car.
<
< The man was nowhere insight. Opening her trunk, she
< discovered a
< briefcase the man had set inside her trunk while helping her with the
< tire. Inside were
< rope and a butcher knife. And, when she took the tire to be fixed, the
< mechanic informed her that
< there was nothing wrong with her tire, that it was flat because the air
< had been let out of it.
<
< I was going to send this to the ladies only, but guys, if you love
< your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass
< it on to them, as well.
<
< Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the
< world we live in has a lot of crazies in it....better safe than sorry.
<
< PLEASE BE SAFE AND NOT SORRY! JUST A WARNING TO ALWAYS BE ALERT AND USE
< YOUR HEAD!!!
<
< Pass this along to every woman you have access to. Never let
< your guard down.
<
< SOMETIMES THAT FEELING IN YOUR GUT IS THE VOICE OF GOD. TRUST YOUR
< INSTINCTS!!
