Dear All, I recently received a message in my inbox concerning an email that seems to be doing the rounds.It makes mention of various actions taken by gang members to get you to stop your vehicle (An overturned child seat with a fake baby in / throwing eggs at your windscreen so you cannot see).
The email even mentions that the Police are aware and urges you to forward the email on to your loved ones to stop them becoming victim.Having reviewed the email carefully I am happy that this email is a hoax / spam email.
It seems this email is a combination of 2 false emails presented to look like a genuine warning.If you receive an email of this nature please take a few moments to consider if it may be a hoax, the website www.snopes.com is very useful to help decide if an email is a hoax and is very easy to search.
If the email is a hoax I would urge you not to forward them as it appears to validate the contents when people send them.I have included a link to the 2 stories I mention so you can read them.
I would urge you to be careful in any situation that appears to draw you away from your vehicle, when you are out and about please consider your personal safety if you are in a position where you are stopped / have to stop unexpectedly.If you have any questions in connection with this please do not hesitate to contact us, we will be happy to help.http://www.snopes.com/crime/gangs/carseat.asp - Car Seathttp://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/eggthrow.asp - Egg Throwing
