I can't confirm the veracity of this story; might just be something-n-nothing or one of those blasted circular email horror stories doing the rounds, but better safe than sorry. Sounds far-fetched, but you never can tell. Came in from my sister.
All the girls at our office have received this e-mail today, pass it onto any women you know.......... scary
A friend stopped at a pay-at-the-pump petrol station to get fuel. Once she filled her petrol tank and after paying at the pump and starting to leave, the voice of the attendant inside came over the speaker. He told her that something happened with her card and that she needed to come inside to pay.
The lady was confused because the pump-transaction showed 'complete' and 'approved'.
She relayed that to him and was getting ready to leave but the attendant, once again, urged her to come in to pay or there'd be trouble. She proceeded to go inside and started arguing with the attendant about his threat. He told her to calm down and listen carefully: He said that while she was filling her car, a guy had slipped into the back seat of her car on the other side and the attendant had already called the police. She became frightened and looked out in time to see her car door open and the guy slip out and run off.
The report is that the new gang initiation thing is to bring back a woman and/or her car. One way they are doing this is crawling under girls / women's cars while they're filling with petrol or at stores in at night-time. The other way is slipping into unattended cars and kidnapping the women.
Please pass this on to other women, young and old alike. Be extra careful going to and from your car at night. If at all possible, don't go alone! This is real!!, This alert has originated from a London company who had the woman involved in the above instance.
The message:
1. ALWAYS lock your car doors, even if you're gone for just a second!
2. Check underneath your car when approaching it for re-entry, and check in the back before getting in.
3. Always be aware of your surroundings and of other individuals in your general vicinity, particularly at night!
