Snopes on this email

It is always a good idea, however, to thoroughly check your vehicle before getting in. Thanks you for the reminder!

Cheryl, thanks for looking it up. It's good to know that it's fake, but now that it's online, some copycat criminals might start trying it.

I took time to check this one that he also sent. This one is real.

All drugs containing PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE are being recalled.
You may want to try calling the 800 number listed on most
drug boxes and inquire about a REFUND Please read this
CAREFULLY. Also, please pass this on to everyone you know.

STOP TAKING anything containing this ingredient. It has been
linked to increased hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in brain )
among women ages 18-49 in the three days after starting use
of medication. Problems were not found in men, but the FDA
recommended that everyone ( even children ) seek alternative
medicine.
