This one is particularly funny because I've seen the EXACT same email (right down to the wording) with an ATM machine in place of a gas pump. We have old broads at work who love to forward on garbage like this.
I love it when people fall for these and forward them on with their own little "I just want to make you all aware of this terrible thing!!" message... don't you think if these things were such an epidemic and posed such a huge threat that you might perhaps hear about it from a reputable news source or read it in the paper??? Because I'll be honest: when I want to find out the issues that are of the utmost importance to my health and survival, I turn to my Hotmail inbox.
"Man, if that friend of a friend of some guy that somebody at work bowls with never tipped me off by email to the ether rag-wielding perfume salesmen/car and wallet thieves I'd be up Sh*t Creek with a hole in my boat..."
