Internet True or False
Story 1This happened in Paris recently and may happen elsewhere also.
A few weeks ago, in a movie theatre, a person felt something poking from her
seat. When she got up to see what it was, she found a needle sticking out of
the seat with a note attached saying
"You have just been infected by HIV".
The Disease Control Center (in Paris) reports many similar events in many
other cities recently. All tested needles were HIV Positive. The Center also
reports that needles have been found in cash dispensers at public banking
machines. We ask everyone to use extreme caution when faced with this kind
of situation. All public chairs/seats should be inspected with vigilance
and caution before use. A careful visual inspection should be enough. In
addition, they ask that each of you pass this message along to all members
of your family and your friends of the potential danger.
Recently, one doctor has narrated a somewhat similar instance that happened
to one of his patients at the Priya Cinema in Delhi ...
A young girl, engaged and about to be married in a couple of months, was
pricked while the movie was going on. The tag with the needle had the
message " Welcome to the World of HIV family". Though the doctors told her
family that it takes about 6 months before the virus grows strong enough to
start damaging the system and a healthy victim could survive about 5-6
years, the girl died in 4 months, perhaps more because of the "Shock
thought". We all have to be careful at public places, rest God help!
STORY 2
Warning for all the ladies out there; and men please inform your
significant other. (And, hey, it could happen to the guys!) The Latest
Scam: Robbing Females using the restroom/"ladies"/bathroom at a Shopping Mall... ...
The way the scam works is, a man slips into a women's rest room and
sneaks into a unit. He waits until there is only one woman in the
restroom in a neighbouring unit/stall.
The criminal then stands on the toilet seat and points a hand gun into
the next stall, demanding the woman's valuables.
After getting her cash and jewellery, he demands that she remove all of
her clothing and kick them out of the unit/stall. The thief tosses the
clothing into a shopping bag, hangs an "out of order sign" on the
restroom door outside, and slips back into the mall. The "out of order
sign" ensures no one will soon come to the woman's rescue. It usually
takes an hour or two for the woman to work up the nerve to leave the
rest room in the nude, giving the criminal ample time to make his get
away. The woman is left naked humiliated in a mall full of strangers.
The best defence, say police, is to never go into a shopping mall
restroom alone, as only women who are by themselves are targeted.
