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

    • 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 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
