Subject: This is serious!
Subject: VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!!
ALERT! ALERT! FYI.. Don't use that telephone
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. They 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.
