There is a syndicate of criminals presenting themselves as sales promoters who are giving free key-rings holders at gas stations or parking lots. The key ring has a tracking device chip which allows them to follow you.
Please, please don't accept them. They select their seemingly well-to-do potential victims and if you accept, then you will be in for their tricks.
The key holders are very beautiful to resist accepting, but remember you may end up paying more than the key holder, including the risk to your life. Please advise your family members, email contacts, and friends as well.

Re: PLEASE TELL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS/COWORKERS!!! I especially appreciate the air finally being cleared about the eMail version warning against accepting key rings at petrol stations in Nairobi. I was really starting to worry about that... but now I can safely go get fuel for my mower.

As opposed to some guy who posts crap he gets in email or from the web and makes not the slightest attempt to check its veracity?
I think I'll believe Snopes rather than you, thanks all the same.

Publicity of this controversy has been spread through an elaborate health scare and "Internet smear campaign" involving hoax e-mails repeating Betty Martini's widely circulated conspiracy theory. Her undocumented claims are still repeated by thousands of self-published Web sites.
The dude got taken in by internet conspiracy theories? Surely this is unpossible!
Well, that I'll agree with: the world they seem to inhabit has a relationship to reality, unlike your alternate universe, where the more evidence there is against something, the more you take it as proof of a massive conspiracy to cover up that thing. |

Frankly, I'd believe Snopes before I'd believe a "warning" email from a friend that's obviously been chain-mailed.  |

Just out of curiousity, care to cite an example of Snopes being wrong? Because in this case? They're totally right. You posted a BS hoax that's been around for years.

Considering that you're one of the most prolific purveyors of paranoia, baseless innuendo and outright FUD around here, you've absolutely no right whatsoever referring to anyone as assholes or idiots. Doing so is almost as hypocritically tasteless as the blatant insistence on using caps in postings, despite the fact of your being more than aware such behavior is rude and totally inconsistent with proper Internet decorum.
