variant also pays allegiance to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/burundanga-business-card-drug-warning\/\">another widely circulated urban legend<\/a> that claims that criminals are abducting people by getting them to take a business card laced with the drug burundanga.<\/p>\n<p>As per usual with such warnings, the message provides no evidence or references to back up its claims. The alleged senior police officer is not named nor does the message say where or when any of the supposed attacks took place.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, it is very unlikely that any drug would be so powerful that just one or two sniffs in the open air would render a person instantly unconscious. \u00a0 Ether won&#8217;t. Neither would burundanga.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, there are no credible police or media reports about assaults or robberies like those described in the warning message. \u00a0 The original ether perfume bottle story was derived from just one reported incident that occurred back in 1999. However, the alleged victim&#8217;s story was never substantiated and may well have been untrue.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, even police agencies and news outlets can sometimes be <a class=\"norm\" title=\"Police Warn Of Drug-Laced Perfumes Being Used To Incapacitate Robbery Victims\" href=\"http:\/\/jamaica-gleaner.com\/latest\/article.php?id=42649\">fooled into reporting<\/a> on information derived from false warnings that circulate via social media. Such reports can give totally undeserved credence to these bogus warnings.<\/p>\n<p>Sending on false warnings will do nothing to help keep people safe. \u00a0 Sharing false and misleading health and safety information causes unnecessary fear and alarm and may cause people to ignore genuine warnings.<\/p>\n<p>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/paper-laced-with-drugs-perfume-hoax\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/paper-laced-with-drugs-perfume-hoax\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outline Message circulating via social media warns that criminals disguised as perfume sellers are using paper laced with drugs to debilitate victims and then rob them.
