To all healthcare travelers (Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists and Speech Language Pathologists) out there, arm yourselves with information.

I picked up this information from another recruiter, but it is important, so I thought I’d post it here (but all credit goes to Dawn Pugh).  Here’s a link to her post, but the story is posted below.

Car Scam: The Warning!!!

You may have already received a warning letter or email notification regarding this diabolical car scam. Please be vigilant and be aware of the dangers involved.

Warnings..!!!!

Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public
car park. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the
rear window of the car. When I took it off (after I got home),
it was a receipt for petrol. Luckily my friend had told me not to
stop, as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of the
car. Then we received this email yesterday.

THE WARNING FROM POLICE
THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN
BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE.
NEW WAY TO DO CAR-JACKINGS, AND CAR SCAM (NOT A JOKE).

Heads up everyone! Please keep this circulating. You walk
across the car park, unlock your car and get inside. You
start the engine and put it into Reverse.

When you look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your
space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle
of the rear screen. So you stop, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is), because it is obstructing your view.
Then when you reach the back of your car, is when the car-jackers appear out of nowhere.
They jump in and take off. They practically run you over as they speed off.

And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car.
So now the car-jacker has your car, your home address, your
money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are compromised!

BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.

If you see a piece of paper stuck to the back window, lock your doors and just drive away.
Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you
read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and
family, especially to women.
A purse contains all kinds of personal information and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.

Please tell all your friends.

(Thanks again to Dawn Pugh)

Happy Travels!
