warning!

I received the following e-mail today... PLEASE be aware of your surroundings and don't trust strangers! Just thought I'd pass it along... (not sure of who the original author is because by the time I received it, it had been forwarded several times)

I can't believe I'm sending this warning out, as I'm used to just reading what happens to other people but this happened to my daughter who works at the Oxford Mall. Tuesday night Aug 12th when the mall was closing my daughter and a female co-worker were walking to their cars together when they were approached my a young female asking for money for gas, when they told her that they had no money she then tried to get them to go with her over a red 4 door car because she needed help getting it started. They both told her no but she continued to beg them just to come to the car to help her. Feeling things weren't right they both got in their cars and locked the doors. My daughter then watched the female walk back to her car and get in, it started right up with no problem and as she was beginning to drive off a large male sat up in the back seat!!! Luckily my daughter got the tag number and immediately called the Oxford police and gave them the tag # and a description of the car and the female( she could not describe the male except he was large and was wearing a baseball cap). It seems the mall and the new exchange are ideal places for these kinds of things since they are so close to the interstate and escape!! Be careful and I'm sad to say don't trust anyone no matter how nice they look!!
