  The e-mail making its rounds quotes an official ( Abraham Sands ) who is allegedly with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.This story is absolutely ridiculous and totally false.Read more about it at : http : //urbanlegends.about.com/science/urbanlegends/library/weekly/aa061400a. htm 2. Knock-Out Perfume We dealt with this internet rumor in the June , 2000 issue of our COPNotes e-mail newsletter , but we're still receiving a tremendous number of e-mails questioning its authenticity.To summarize , the rumor deals with individuals who are approaching unsuspecting victims in the parking lot and asking them to smell a bottle of perfume.Ostensibly , the person smelling the perfume is then rendered unconscious by the fumes and then robbed while they are in this vulnerable state.This rumor is totally false.Apparently it started with a newspaper article in Mobile , AL , but was blown totally out of proportion by individuals who evidently saw a great opportunity to scare the wits out of those on their personal e-mail list.

  It is purportedly written by Jacksonville, FL police Captain Abraham Sands.It claims that 17 people in the Jacksonville area have been victims.Right.17 known incidents and no news reports - yeah, sure.The other problem is that Jacksonville says that there is no Captain Abraham Sands.He's just the figment of someone's sick imagination.

  The mass e-mail, reportedly sent by a Captain Abraham Sands of the OPP, is an urban myth.Police said there is no Abraham Sands that represents the OPP and no reports of injuries at gas stations regarding needles.The hoax dates back to 1997 in Jacksonville, Fla.The website Snopes.com, which investigates urban legends, myths and rumours, also declares the needle notice a hoax, saying "Abraham Sands" doesn't exist.He was originally from Florida but, in 2003, his location changed from the "Jacksonville area" to the "Simcoe area."

  Summary of Erumor: Captain Abraham Sands of the Jacksonville, Florida Police Department warns that hypodermic needles infected with the HIV virus have been found on gas pump handles.He claims that in Jacksonville alone, there have been 17 cases of people being stuck by the needles and that 8 of them now test positive for HIV.He says there are also 12 other cases elsewhere in the country.The Truth: There is no such person as Captain Abraham Sands.There is no such law enforcement agency as the Jacksonville Police Department.There are no such incidents of HIV-infected needles being found in gas pump handles.Erumors about HIV-infected needles have been making the rounds of the country for quite a while including ones reported to be found in theater seats, pay phones, etc..None of them is true.Jacksonville is served by a Sheriff's Office, which has issued a statement officially declaring this story a hoax.
