Not strictly a scam as such since no one wants anything from you other than to perpetuate this hoax.

This has been doing the rounds in one form or another since 2000 and has been adapted slightly for different countries. The emails read as below :

This is from a real organisation via the police so I presume it's for real (although I haven't checked for myself).

MAKE SURE YOUR DAUGHTERS KNOW - AND EVERYONE ELSE
This is something that happened to us on the way back from holiday last week. At first I didn't think much of it until now. The reason we were a little suspicious is we had been riding in a jeep all day with 100 degree temps and we stopped at a truck stop for something to drink. When I was leaving, a young girl followed me out and asked what kind of cologne I was wearing.  Well, after 7 hours in the car sweating, I don't think you could tell if I was or was not wearing any cologne. We just got in the jeep and said no thanks. Then it was about 3 weeks ago, I was at a service station in Birmingham getting fuel. It was about 9:30 PM. I was approached by 2 men and 2 women in a car. The man that was driving asked me 'What kind of perfume do you wear?' I was a bit confused and I asked him 'Why?' He said, 'We are selling some name brand perfumes at cheap prices.' I told him I had no money. He then reached out of the car and handed me paper that was laminated; it had many perfumes on it. I looked quickly at it and gave it back. I said again that I had no money. He said, 'That's OK, we take check, cash, or credit cards.' Then the people in the car began to laugh. I just got in my car and said no thanks. Then I received this e-mail yesterday and it sent chills up my spine. Please read this; it is no joke. Here is the e-mail I was sent:
