skycat 6,174 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Just received this in an email from a friend: Please share this with your sisters, daughters, nieces, mothers, female and male (because they have mothers, daughters, sisters and nieces, too) friends . This Incident has been confirmed. A man came over and offered his services as a painter to a female putting petrol in her car and left his card. She said no ,but accepted his card out of kindness and got in the car. The man then got into a car driven by another man. As the lady left the service station, she saw the men following her out of the station at the same time. Almost immediately, she started to feel dizzy and could not catch her breath. She tried to open the window and realized that the odour was on her hand; the same hand which accepted the card from the man at the service station. She then noticed the men were immediately behind her and she felt she needed to do something at that moment. She drove into the first driveway and began to honk her horn repeatedly to ask for help. The men drove away but the lady still felt pretty bad for several minutes after she could finally catch her breath. Apparently, there was a substance on the card that could have seriously injured her. This drug is called 'BURUNDANGA' and it is used by people who wish to incapacitate a victim in order to steal from or take advantage of them. This drug is four times more dangerous than the date rape drug and is transferable on simple cards. So take heed and make sure you don't accept cards at any given time alone or from someone on the streets. This applies to those making house calls and slipping you a card when they offer their services . PLEASE SEND THIS E-MAIL ALERT TO EVERY FEMALE YOU KNOW Sam Mckay Anti-Social Behaviour Out of Hours Administrator Homes for Islington Holloway Police Station 284 Hornsey Road London N7 7QY Tel:0207 527 4423 Fax Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 27,579 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Burundanga does actually exist,its a deliriant,its sans odour or taste,and would have to be ingested or deeply inhaled to have effect,its never been reported used in either the states where this urban legend originated nor europe where the legend has now spread Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 3,709 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 we all had letters from work handed out last year about this kind of thing, a company claiming to be window cleaners were calling into specific businesses in the area & handing the receptionists bundles of these cards just prior to them closing up asking if they minded leaving the cards in there reception as they were drumming up trade. As the busineses were ready for shutting up for the day most who were targeted just took the cards off the chaps , somewhere along the lines someone was effected and the police issued all the local busineses with a letter about these cards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
