Esau Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Got this email today from a friend in the USA. Government warning regarding purchase of Bozo the Clown costumes: ------------------------------------------------------------ There has been a huge purchase, $32,000 worth, of Bozo the Clown costumes on eBay over the past 30 days. This could represent a serious threat as bogus clowns (terrorists) can make jokes and spray anything out of lapel flowers at anyone with deadly consequences! If you have ANY questions when a clown appears at your door, they should be able to furnish a VALID BOZO the CLOWN ID. Additionally, if someone in a Bozo the Clown costumes comes to make a joke or ballon animal, make absolutely sure they are driving a Clown car. Clowns don't travel in anything, except a clown car vehicle, which can be indentified by having at least 6 other clowns and two midgets inside. If you have a problem, IMMEDIATELY call your local law enforcement agency right away! TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY! Tell everyone in your office, your family, your friends, etc. Make people aware so that we can prepare and/or avoid terrorist attacks on our people! Thank you for your time in reviewing this and PLEASE send to EVERYONE on your list.

AdamH Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Hmm, sounds alot like this (from Snopes ) SECURITY ALERT: $32,000 worth of UPS uniforms have been purchased over the last 30 days by person(s) unknown. Law enforcement is working on the case however no suspect(s) have been indentified. Subjects may try to gain access by wearing one of these uniforms. If anyone has suspicions about a UPS delivery (i.e., no truck but driver, no UPS identification, etc., contact UPS to verify employment). If you see or have seen a UPS delivery from an unknown driver please ask for proper ID and be alert to any suspicious packages or deliveries. Please notify building security or appropriate law enforcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
