Hi all, i was forwarded an email by work about the latest car jacking scam.
Basically a piece of paper is stuck to the back windscreen, when you attempt to reverse out of a parking space you would jump out of the car to remove this. At this point the car jackers get into the car and drive away. Not sure how true or plausible this is but always good to be aware.
I was then sent the following email address and there is some really useful information on scams and hoaxes.

I do hope this helps...
Its good to be aware of this kind of thing especially near xmas time.
Happy xmas.
