Poisonous Perfume
Arriving in Homes by Mail-Fiction!
Summary of eRumor:
The eRumor claims that seven
woman have died from smelling free perfume samples that came to them
in the mail. It also says that the government thinks it may be
a terrorist act, but doesn't want to alarm people so is not talking
about it.
The Truth:
There are not any reports, inside or outside the government, about
poisonous perfume or poisonous perfume being sent through the mail.
This is the kind of email that should not be passed along to others
because it alleges something very alarming, but without any
information whatsoever that would allow anyone to verify it.
No names of victims or families, no locations, no hospitals, and no
official law enforcement or health agencies.
If this had actually happened, it would be big news and difficult to
keep hidden. Even if someone wanted to believe that the
government would keep this quiet, the deaths of seven people from
something so unique as poisoning from smelling perfume would be
known to so many people, especially families, that it wouldn't be
quiet for long.
A real example of the story as it has
been circulated:
Seven women have died after smelling a free perfume sample that was
mailed to them.
The product was poisonous. If you receive free samples in the mail such
as lotions, perfumes, diapers etc. throw it away .
The government is afraid that this might be another
terrorist act.
They will not announce it on the news because they do not want to alarm
us of any dangerous.
