A friend of mine asked me to post this where ever i could, so i will. Here:eek:

>>Dear All,
>>
>>I would like to bring to your attention a terrible incident which
happened
>>to me on Friday 2nd February 2007 at approximately 18.05. I had
left work
>>(8 King Street, Manchester) and I proceeded up King Street. There
were
>>plenty of people around finishing work for the weekend and about
half way
>>up King Street (outside The White Company) a woman had come out of
the
>>walk through from St. Ann's Square and said to me she was having a
>>terrible day as she had just found her husband in bed with another
woman.
>>I thought it was strange that she would tell a complete stranger
this
>>information so I carried on walking. She then stopped me and asked
for 32
>>pence to catch the bus home. I was immediately suspicious of the
situation
>>as I would imagine a bus to anywhere would be more than 32 pence
and she
>>wasn't the stereotypical person that normally asks you for change
for the
>>bus. She was clean, well dressed and well spoken. She also had a
handbag.
>>Feeling uncomfortable with the situation I agreed to give her some
change,
>>just so I could get away as promptly as possible. I gave her what
change I
>>had which was approximately 80 pence. She then said she was
grateful and
>>she'd send me £20 back. I thought she was going to ask for my
address
>>(which I wouldn't have given) but she didn't. She said thank you
and
>>squeezed my arm as a token of appreciation. As she walked away she
dropped
>>some of the money and didn't retrieve it which certainly aroused
>>suspicions; if she didn't need the money why did she stop me?
>>
>>I proceeded up King Street towards Cross Street but realised
something was
>>wrong. My left hand side had gone completely numb and my arm went
into a
>>spasm. I knew she had done something to me when she touched my arm.
I
>>needed to tell someone quickly what had happened as I assumed in a
few
>>seconds I would be unconscious and what I assume would be her
accomplice
>>would be waiting for me to be completely helpless and do the
unthinkable
>>to me. I managed to get my phone out of pocket and just pressed
last
>>number re-dial.
>>
>>At the same time I stopped a lady and realised I sounded stupid at
what I
>>was saying but she could also hear me on the phone so she realised
I was
>>genuine. I started to lose the power of speech. She stayed with me
and we
>>got to Bootle Street police station.
>>
>>My arm was hurting but whatever I was injected with couldn't have
>>penetrated completely so I got the feeling back about 10 minutes
later.
>>The fact it had a coat, suit jacket and blouse to get through
must've
>>saved me. I had the smallest scratch mark on my arm, there is an
identical
>>one on my coat and suit jacket.
>>
>>It will probably be impossible to tell what I was injected with,
and
>>although I still await the results of blood tests they are only
checking
>>for diseases I may have been given. The police are confident it
will be
>>caught on CCTV and I await father information in that regard.
>>
>>The reason for sending this e-mail is to please ask you to warn
EVERYONE
>>you know, not just women but men too and ask them to tell
girlfriends,
>>wives, sisters and mothers. The message needs to get through to be
extra
>>vigilant.
>>I was one of the lucky ones and if I can make people aware of these
people
>>then I'd like to think it can make a difference.
>>
>>Thank you.
