Another scheme of carjackers.

Do you know that crooks have brains just like any of us? As an ex-teacher, I know that for a fact. It is the clever ones who can scheme and think of ways to bluff and cheat without batting an eye. Yes, they are good poker players too, some of them. Sometimes I could not help but admire them for the beautiful stories they can tell to get out of a jam. The recalcitrant ones are just as clever as the well-behaved ones and there is no doubt about it.

What do we expect, for they were all good from the beginning. Then some guardian, parents or relatives pampered them, praised them for the wrong things or talked with pride about the small mischief and bullying or bad behaviour and the words became motivators in their little minds, gradually leading them to bigger wrongs. So parents and relatives, when you love those kids, love them enough to care about what they are going to become in the future.

Well, again and again, there are people up to all kinds of ways to get unsuspecting victims to fall for some ruse whereby they could profit from it. Below is an email I received from a friend. I shall let the email below tell you the story.

Warning..!!!!
Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public car park. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home, it was a receipt for petrol. Luckily my friend told me not to stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of the car. Then we received this email yesterday.

WARNING FROM POLICE:
THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN

BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE

NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)
Heads up everyone! Please, keep this circulating.. You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine put it into reverse.
When you look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you stop and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view.

When you reach the back of your car, that is when the carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically run you over as they speed off in your car.

And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse or handbag is still in the car.

So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!

BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.

If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, lock your doors and just drive away.

Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you
read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women.

A purse or handbag contains all kinds of personal information and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.

Please tell all your friends
