‘Key Rings’ Bought From Fuel Pumps Might Track Your Location

[350Z]

Just received this mail a while ago from security manager of a hotel. Not sure whether it’s fact or a rumor but there’s no harm in being cautious from now on.

Information reaching Police formation indicates that: There is a syndicate of criminals selling beautiful key holders at Petrol Stations. They sometimes parade themselves as sales promoters giving out free key holders. Please do not buy or accept these key holders no matter how beautiful they look.

Key holders have inbuilt tracking device chip which allows them to track you to your home or wherever your car is parked. Key holders are very beautiful to resist. Accepting same may endanger your life. All are therefore requested to pass this message to colleagues, family members and loved ones. Be on guard.

Drive Safe,
