Just wondered if you'd heard the same variant of this urban myth in  your neck of the woods as we've been hearing in Birmingham.  

We've had the "a woman is stopped by a Arab beggar for money, she gives him £5 and he tells her not to go into Birmingham town centre on such and such a date".  

We tend to get it every Christmas as well, but this time its an Irish chap who tells a woman not to go to Merry Hill Shopping Centre/Birmingham because the IRA is going to bomb it.

It's a shame people fall for these.
