This was sent to me.
I thought it worth sharing.

Theres a link to the bbc website below with the real new story of this!
>> Sounds horrible!
>>
>>
>> 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 (blood results pending) and if I can make
>> people aware of these people then I'd like to think it can make a
>> difference.
>>
>> Thank you.

I work on the outskirts of the city and as far as I'm aware this has happened once to a lady in the city centre area but I'm not aware of it being repeated. Not nice though.

perhaps the women was the women the other women found her husband in bed with!


jlparsons - 4/3/07 at 08:35 PM

KGB perhaps? Or maybe NSA? Maybe she knew the truth about the moon landings?
