Urban Legend or Email Bunk? David/Fearfactor

I saw an email claiming that there was an ongoing perfume scam. The scam involves people offering top-of-the-line perfumes at discounted prices. The trick is not the discounted prices, but the smell coming from the perfume. The scam-artists purportedly use ether in the bottles so that whenever the victim smells it, they pass-out, and the assailants can rob them without them consciously knowing (ala the daterape pill). Is this a factual scam, or just anectdotal email rumors?

Date: 6/16/2006 8:30:00 PM  From Authorid: 16845    ^^ yep....though I must say shortly after I had gotten that circulated email...someone DID approach me in the parking lot holding a bottle of perfume and a back pack full of others asking if I wore perfume if I wanted to smell it/buy it/etc though I knew the email was a UL it still scared the tar out of me that it happened....I even told the gal I didn't wear any and she was like chasing me LOL..  
Date: 6/16/2006 8:34:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 28071    we have one NO and one YES thus far...  
Date: 6/16/2006 8:38:00 PM  From Authorid: 16845    LOL well I'm sure my case was just some coincidental timing thing...I do not believe it's an actual scam...  
Date: 6/16/2006 8:40:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 28071    I was joking but...you never know?  
Date: 6/16/2006 8:42:00 PM  From Authorid: 16845    True...I wasn't sticking around to find out   
Date: 6/16/2006 10:39:00 PM  From Authorid: 63743    If its true or not doesnt matter, someone already came up with the idea which means it might not be long before someone does try it or maybe already have. Be careful outthere  
Date: 6/17/2006 9:11:00 AM  From Authorid: 63725    Whenever I am approached with something I don't want I tell them I am allergic. Well, it is true, because if I spend the money my bank balance causes a reaction! LOL PEACELOVER
