Notice on car (not a joke)



Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public


parking area. 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


BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE--NEW WAY TO


DO CAR JACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)'


... You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside. You


start the engine and shift into Reverse.


When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your


parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle


of the rear window. So, you shift into neutral, unlock your


doors, 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


mow you down as they speed off in your car.


And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse 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, 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 contains all kinds of


personal information and identification documents, and you


certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.



I thought this message was worthy of a viewing on the forum, it dropped into my emails earlier today.

Well done Steve - I'll tell my wife to look out for this scam - even if it has never happened before, she is surely going to be the first to fall foul of it.


In fact now you have advertised this great carjacking idea, I'm sure it won't be long before you can say - "hey I told you so".

Yeah I heard of another version of this, it's called the "Simian jack scam"

The "jackers" stick a 650lb gorilla on your rear window, (it plays dead so as not to give it's self away)

When you get in your car and shift into reverse you see the gorilla in your rear view mirror

Sh*t you say and go to get out to remove the darn thing.....

Now this is where the difference is in the "Jack"

The "sleeping" gorilla, all 650lb of him wakes up.......oh yeah and he's pis**d off

he rips you to pieces at this point limb by limb and sucks the eyes out of your skull

Then to top it all a trained baboon jumps into your car and drives round in circles doing "doughnuts" as the gorilla

searches the pockets of your clothes (you are by now a lifeless corpse)finding your cash and credit cards

Then your very drunk girlfriend just about comes to & looking at the baboon (she has a hand over one eye to focus) now in the driving seat and wearing your GT driving gloves ,yellow night shades and a red Ferrari base ball cap (free with 10lts of Texaco oil) says...

"Oh baby you look soooo hot....did you shave tonight.....you gorgeous manhunk.."

Her head slumps down into the baboons lap and .......(well you can guess the rest)

Put it this way , the baboon is grinning from ear to ear as he drives of with your car your cash & your chick

The gorilla who has previously stolen a pizza hut "ped" and makes good his escape on that.


BEWARE OF THIS SCAM



W**F

SteveT - sorry, I wasn't trying to tick you off, I was just more surprised you fell for it


Everything about the construction and wording of it reeks of urban myth. The road to hell is paved with good intentions etc etc. Wasn't Chicken Licken a parable?


Anyway now that more people know about snopes, here's hoping a few more urban myths get debunked

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
