A Texas town is warning residents about a peddler of perfumes with a sales pitch that really stinks.
The El Paso Police Department released the following bulletin on social media:
Please be advised that a suspicious male, with an Italian accent, is attempting to sell perfume, cosmetics, and fragrances at public parking lot locations. The male subject approaches the potential buyer, and attempts to complete the sale in an aggressive, and persistent manner. The El Paso Police Department advises the public not to purchase any items from suspicious individuals. If you encounter this type of sales offer, please call the El Paso Police Department Non-Emergency number at 832-4400, or call 911.
The bulletin has generated a lot of comments on social media. Many local residents say they've seen the man. There were multiple reports that the man drives a BMW, and claims that he is headed to the airport to catch a flight, and must sell the perfumes quickly. Other commenters on the KFOX-TV Facebook page claims the suspect also sells watches and leather jackets.
