Subject: BE AWARE!
Share with your sisters, daughters, nieces, mothers, female friends,
EVERYONE. NEW WARNING!! Incident has been confirmed. In Katy , Tx a
man came over and offered his services as a painter to a female putting
gas in her car and left his card. She said no , but accepted his card
out of kindness and got in the car. The man then got into a car driven
by another gentleman. As the lady left the service station and saw the
men following her out of the station at the same time. Almost
immediately, she started to feel dizzy and could not catch her breath.
She tried to open the window and realized that the odor was on her hand;
the same hand which accepted the card from the gentleman at the gas
station. She then noticed the men were immediately behind her and she
felt she needed to do something at that moment. She drove into the first
driveway and began to honk her horn to ask for help. The men drove
away but the lady still felt pretty bad for several minutes after she
could finally catch her breath. Apparently there was a substance on the
card and could have seriously injured her.
The drug is called 'BURUNDANGA' and it is used by people who wish to
incapacitate a victim in order to steal or take advantage of them. Four
times greater than date rape drug and is transferable on simple cards.
So take heed and make sure you don't accept cards at any given time
alone or from someone on the streets. This applies to those making
house calls and slipping you a card when they offer their services .

And snopes says it is false. While that drug does exist, this particular story is just a story. HTH-- it is a tricky one since it has the snopes link and that always makes them appear legitimate. vanessa 3|2|thank-goodness, it is not true! I was sitting thinking shoot, I pass my biz cards out all the time...lol!|HONEY11|HONEY1@AMERITECH.NET|22:10:58|09/23/2008|
