Thanks for the feedback. Ya, I recall now that as a kid getting tonsils out, it did take a while for the ether to kick in. They told me to breathe deep, close my eyes and that I would see bunny rabbits. They lied. But I did go down hard. Then woke up in pain. And have been wary of the medical people ever since.

After briefly describing what happened yesterday in a local parking lot, lady friend tonight told me I may have been the intended victim of an "ether scam". Checkin here to see if others have recently heard of such - and to warn others of the possibilities.

Short version is I was getting into truck after being in office at Nelson RediMix Concrete in Lewisville when approached by a pretty cleancut Hispanic male in mid 20s. I went to an elevated condition yellow when he got out from behind the steering wheel of his car which was across the driveway from me about 15 yards and started walking toward the front of my truck as I was opening my drivers door. He said "Do you use colonge?" I responded "No". He immediately said "You look like a cologne guy to me". I replied firmly "I have no interest." (Plus one 6 word sentence about getting out of my space that is not repeatable on this forum.) He promptly went back to his car just as a companion came out of the office, looked our way, then promptly got into the passenger side and they drove off.

Lady friend said she's heard of such with people working in teams. One gets the victim to "smell" supposedly fancy cologne for a discounted price and it's actually ether. That as soon as the victim gets a whiff, they are disabled and robbed.

Anybuddy else heard of such? Especially lately and in the DFW/Lewisville area?
