Hey guys im posting this because were all a family and this would suck if it happened to you, if you didn't even know. It's the real deal. You guys can move this or close the thread but i just wanted everyone to know.
HIV Warning
Warning: look at the gas pump handle BEFORE you pump your gas. Please
read and forward to anyone you know who drives a car.
My name is Captain Abraham Sands of the Jacksonville, Florida Police
Department. I have been asked by state and local authorities to write
this email in order to get the word out to car drivers of a very
Dangerous prank that is occurring in numerous states. Some person or
persons have been affixing hypodermic needles to the underside of gas
pump Handles!
These needles appear to be infected with HIV positive blood. In the
Jacksonville area alone there have been 17 cases of people being stuck
by these Needles over the past five months.
We have verified reports of at
least 12 others in various states
around the country. It is believed that these may be copycat incidents
due
to
someone reading about the crimes or seeing them reported on the
television.
At this point no one has been arrested and catching the perpetrator(s)
has
become our top priority.
Shockingly, of the 17 people who where stuck, eight have tested HIV
positive
and because of the nature of the disease, the others could test
positive
in a
couple years.
Evidently the consumers go to fill their car with gas, and when
picking up the pump handle get stuck with the infected needle.
IT IS IMPERATIVE TO CAREFULLY CHECK THE HANDLE of the gas pump each
time you use one. LOOK AT EVERY SURFACE YOUR HAND MAY TOUCH, INCLUDING
UNDER THE HANDLE!
If you do find a needle affixed to one, immediately contact your local
police
department so they can collect the evidence.
PLEASE HELP US BY MAINTAINING A VIGILANCE AND BY
FORWARDING THIS EMAIL
TO ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO DRIVES. THE MORE PEOPLE WHO KNOW OF THIS THE
BETTER
PROTECTED WE CAN ALL BE.
