Subject: Another hoax to add to your list

This one is very close to the Dallas movie theatre hoax. My best friend sent 
it to me and I had to send her your hoax info. Then I ripped into her and 
told me to take me off that emailing list. I told her for every person on 
that list more ppl get my email address and then send to more ppl and so on 
and so on. I'm sure you know the drill. She didn't realize why she got so 
much junk email sent to her...I guess now she knows. The funny thing about 
this hoax she sent me is that I live in Lethbridge and I have never heard of 
this on the news. I knew it was a hoax so here is the story........
BTW...GREAT SITE YOU HAVE.
Dear all:

I am writing this email about something really scary i heard
about today.
Because it is certainly worth worrying about, I am sending this
out
to you....

Please read the following anecdote:

................
   On an average day in your life, you are out and decide you
are thirsty.  You notice a pop machine in your surroundings. You go
over to the pop machine, drop in a toonie. After collecting your
beverage, you reach in the little compartment to collect your 50
cents change. Once reaching in, you feel a sharp prick on the finger
you inserted into the change box.
Your finger is bleeding, you bend down to look inside the small
area to see what pricked you. ...What you see is a small needle, with
a note beside it: "YOU NOW HAVE THE H.I.V. VIRUS", it reads.
................

***This is not some scary fiction story! THIS IS NOW HAPPENING IN
ALBERTA !!! ..Please read on and then pass this warning to people
you care about.
*****

...............

At our student council meeting this afternoon, our advisor (a
teacher at the school) told us that last week, she received a phone
call from a friend at the University of Lethbridge. THE ABOVE
SCENARIO HAPPENED THERE RECENTLY (at the UofL) !!! How many it
happened to or why not many have heard about it is beyond me, but
THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING.
Police suspect that this is the work of a particular cult in
western Canada.  It (these incidents) began in Saskatchewan and have
now spread into Alberta.  The prime targets are major cities, but
there's no saying that it couldn't occur in smaller towns. It
happened in Lethbridge and they are on the alert especially in
Edmonton and Calgary.

What happens is that somehow someone inserts a syringe or a
needle/pin that has been infected with the HIV virus into a
vending machine compartment.  Beside it they leave a note saying that
whomever has been pricked is now infected.

I KNOW IT SOUNDS CRAZY, BUT TAKING A PEEK INTO ANY COMPARTMENT OF
ANY PUBLIC MACHINE (PAY-PHONE, POP MACHINE, VENDING MACHINE) BEFORE
STICKING YOUR HAND IN THERE COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE.

Whether it is where you'd get your change, or where you'd reach
in and collect a can of pop or pick up a bag of chips... Be on the
look out for a note or a needle. In order for someone to read the
note or get pricked by the needle, they must be in a place where, if
they checked first, anyone could see them.

***Don't let yourself become a victim & Please PASS this on!!!***
