EDIT to add:
This just came through my email:
Colleagues:
This is a hoax that has been around since 2008 and originated in South Africa during a promotional for a diesel gas company. There haven't been any attempts in the United States relating to anyone distributing key fobs or key chains at any gas station.
Aside from the fact this message is not written in a law enforcement manner, it doesn't have any law enforcement credentials (letterhead), and it's not part of a "Be on the lookout" (BOLO) poster causes immediate speculation as to the veracity.
I have checked with
www.snopes.com which confirmed it was false as well as several law enforcement friends I have in Harris County who have debunked this in its entirety.
Respectfully,
