I was sent an email that claims that criminals lurking in parking areas are using drugs disguised as perfume to debilitate and rob victims. Any truth in this one?
This is a hoax, although it may have originated from a real event. There are several versions of the hoax set in different countries. In 1999, a woman claimed to have been assaulted and robbed by assailants who used a debilitating substance disguised as perfume. The story soon made its way to the Internet and spread rapidly as a “warning”, even though there were no reported cases of such attacks happening again. In fact, even the original story may have been untrue.
