Don't smell the perfumes..

Received this sms from a friend who said that if being approached by someone to buy perfume, don't attempt to smell it as you will faint after smelling it & will be robbed! The sms claimed that this incident happened at the Marine Parade carpark. Wonder how true is the claim.. Was this being reported in the papers? Hmmm... Well, in any case, these are bad times so jz be careful when approached by strangers.
