Are you aware of this.........

I received this email from a contact in Kuwait . It could occur elsewhere in the world....... take care.

" In Mangaf , Kuwait close to the Sultan Supermarket. Last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public parking area
As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When I took it off (after I got home) it was a receipt for gas.
Luckily a friend told me not to stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of thecar. Then we received this email yesterday:
'WARNING FROM POLICE - BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE--NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS
(NOT A JOKE)'
Heads up everyone!

You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into Reverse.

When you look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.
So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view.
When you reach the back of your car; that is when the carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off.

They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car. And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car. So now the carjacker
has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys.

Your home and your whole identity are now compromised! BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED. If you see a piece
of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you read this e-mail.

The usual story from the States. I heard this when I was in the UK.

Does anyone want to carjack my car? I don't give a damn if you want it. I'm hiring, anyway!!

This is an internet story that has circulated in the US for years. Totally false.
