SR News: The Aids Needle Hoaxes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
This is another non-computer-related hoax but is getting high enough
circulation (and we are getting enough questions about it...) that we are
including it here.
There are a number of hoaxes that warn about supposedly real situation where
people are concealing AIDS infected needles. One of these involves someone
becoming stuck in a movie theater. (Aids infected needles are supposedly
being left in the seats. This can certainly happen but it's not a threat as
claimed in the hoax warning.)
The most common version of the AIDS needle hoaxes follows:
SENT FROM ANOTHER FRIEND...
Be careful and always safe!!!!
A very good friend of mine is in an EMT certification course.
There is something new happening that everyone should be aware of.
Drug users are now taking their used needles and putting them into
the coin return slots in public telephones. People are putting
their fingers in to recover coins or just to check if anyone left
change, are getting stuck by these needles and infected with
hepatitis, HIV, and other diseases. This message is posted to make
everyone aware of this danger. Be aware! The change isn't worth
it!
P.S. - This information came straight from phone company workers,
through the EMT instructor. This did NOT come from a hearsay urban
legend source.
This isn't a chain letter, but please tell everyone you know. It
might just save their lives. BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!
This story is a hoax and is not true but I would certainly be careful
reaching into any concealed location such a change slot!
