perfume scam
I don't remeber reading about this scam on this site or any travel guidebook so I figured I'd put it out there.
Yesterday at work I was talking to my aunt in the parking lot and a couple approached us in an SUV and asked us if we like perfume. My aunt told them she'd heard of a scam that starts like that and told them she wasn't interested. I had never heard of this scam before. The idea is that they get you to smell the "perfume" (or any other things they might get you to sniff...flowers maybe) which is actually a drug that knocks you out, then they steal all your stuff.
I don't know if its true. It seems plausible. She told me that she had read about it in the paper. Better safe than sorry though right.
