FAKE NEWS: VIRAL MESSAGES WARNING ABOUT THE DEATHS OF WOMEN WHO SNIFFED POISONED PERFUME IS A HOAX




Messages are going viral around Lakewood community WhatsApp groups with a warning from "Glen Eagles" hospital about the deaths of women who sniffed poisoned perfume samples.


The fake message, which says seven women died after inhaling poisonous perfume that was mailed to them, is an old hoax which has been going around for more than 20 years in different forms.


The message starts by saying the news comes from “Glen Eagles Hospital.” There is no Glen Eagles Hospital in the United States.


The current form of the chain message says the message is from “Diane J. Ford, Office of the Chief of Police Office of Risk Management” located at “101 M Street SW Washington, DC.” There is an Office of Risk Management in Washington, D.C., but it is not located at this address.
