I don't send info, unless I feel strongly that you need to know about it and this is critical! A friend sent it to me and I'm thankful for it! I'm sure, that you'll want to share it with others.


Tell your wives / husbands ... and other loved ones......
"IMPORTANT

Read it all the way through.


Subject: Know what money you are carrying! You will see why as you read!

Be sure every lady is aware of this . Share with it your wife and daughters. Know what money you are carrying..

This was the first I have heard of a scheme like this..... I wanted to pass it along. Be safe! Something very serious to pay attention to.

Criminals are coming up with craftier, less threatening methods of attack, so we have to be extra cautious. Read on.. I live in Alexandria, VA, but I often work in Lafayette, LA, staying with friends when I'm there. As you know from America's Most Wanted TV program, as well as the news media, there is a serial killer in the Lafayette area. I just want to let you know about an "incident" that happened t o me a few weeks ago, and could have been deadly.

At first I didn't go to the police or anyone with it because I didn't realize how serious this encounter was. But since I work in a jail and I told a few people about it, it wasn't long before I was paraded into Internal Affairs to tell them my story. It was proximately 5:15 a.m. in Opelousas, La. I had stayed with a friend there and was on my way to work.

I stopped at the Exxon/Blimpie Pie station to get gas. I got $10 gas and
a Diet Coke. I took into the store two $5 bills and one $1 bill (just enough to get my stuff).

As I pulled away from the store, a man approached my truck from the
back side of the store (an unlit area). He was an "approachable-looking" man
(clean cut, clean shaven, dressed well, etc.).


He walked up to my window and knocked. Since I'm very paranoid and "always looking for the rapist or killer," I didn't open the window
..
I just asked what he wanted. He raised a $5 bill to my window and said, "You dropped this." Since I knew I had gone into the store with a certain amount of money, I knew I didn't drop it.

When I told him it wasn't mine, he began hitting the window and door, screaming at me to open my door, and insisting that I had dropped the money! At that point, I just drove away as fast as I could. After talking to the Internal Affairs Department and describing the man I saw, and the way he escalated from calm and polite to angry and volatile....it was determined that I could have possibly encountered the serial killer myself.

Up to this point, it had been unclear as to how he had gained access to his victims, since there has been no evidence of forced entry into victim's homes, cars, etc. And the fact that he has been attacking in the daytime, when women are less likely to have their guard up, means he is pretty BOLD.

So think about it...what gesture is nicer than returning money to someone that dropped it?????

How many times would you have opened your window (or door) to get your money and say thank you.... because if the person is kind enough to return something to you, then he can't really be a threat....can he???? Please be cautious! This might not have been the serial killer... but anyone that gets that angry over someone not accepting money from them, can't have honorable intentions. The most important thing to note is that his reaction was ! NOT WHAT I EXPECTED! A total surprise! But what might have happened if I had opened my door? I shudder to think!

Forward this to everyone you know...maybe they can be as fortunate
as I was!


P.S. Ladies, really DO forward this to EVERYONE you know Even if this man wasn't a serial killer, he looked nice, he seemed polite, he was apparently doing an act of kindness, but HE WAS NOT A NICE PERSON!!!

Men send it to all the women in your life. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your li fe for it. Make it a good one!

Please forward to anyone you think might benefit from this story.

While we must never become complacent as there will always be those evil souls who deviantly will try to invent new ways to lure their victims, this particular story, thankfully, is a hoax according to Snopes Mythbusters. This is what Snopes says about the e-mail that is currently making the rounds:

Claim: A serial killer is luring women to their deaths with $5 bills they 'dropped.'
Status: False.

Getting in late, but this is just urban legend as pointed out by Snopes. Heard the story some time ago in New Orleans. For whatever reason, society loves to run with these crazy stories from the safe confines of the gated community. :idontno:
