Outline:
Message claiming to be a tip-off from the South African Police Service (SAPS) warns recipients that three men travelling in a red VW Golf are robbing houses by demonstrating household cleaning products that contain a substance that puts the householder to sleep.
Brief Analysis:
The warning is not from SAPS. It is just a silly hoax that has been circulating since at least 2014. There are no credible news or police reports that support the claims in the message. And, the message does not explain how the would be robbers remain unaffected by such a powerful substance while the hapless householder falls asleep.
Example:
THIS IS A TIP- OFF FROM SAPS!There are 3 guys moving around in a red Golf 2. They sell household products such as Handy Andy, Jik, dishwasher and special polish under the product name Abomama. It’s special because it shines the floors and all your furniture. Please tell every one not to buy these Abomama products no matter how cheap because while demonstrating to you, these products contain a substance that causes people to go into a deep sleep, and then they ROB you, Please be careful… Send to all family and friends – people
SAFETY COMES FIRST! BE SAFE AND SAFE OTHERS.Regards
