LSD On the Phone Hoax
May 1999
Instead of needles, this hoax puts LSD and strychnine on a pay phone's
keys and coin slot. This warning purports to come from someone in the
Pentagon no less.
Hello, this is to warn everyone of a new thing happening in communities
as a gang initiation and such. If you care about anyone, please forward
this to them immediately so they can learn of the possible harm. Even if
you don't read this, at least forward it to people.
Hello, my name is Tina Strongman and I work at a police station, as a
phone operator for 911. Lately, we've received many phonecalls
pertaining to a new sort of problem that has arisen in the inner cities,
and is now working its way to smaller towns. It seems that a new form of
gang initiation is to go find as many pay phones as possible and put a
mixture of LSD and Strychnine onto the buttons.
This mixture is deadly to the human touch, and apparently, this has
killed some people on the east coast. Strychnine is a chemical used in
rat poison and is easily separated from the rest of the chemicals. When
mixed with LSD, it creates a substance that is easily absorbed into the
human flesh, and highly fatal.
Please be careful if you are using a pay phone anywhere. You may want to
wipe it off, or just not use one at all. If you have any questions, you
can contact me at the links listed below. Please be very careful. Let
your friends and family know about this potential hazard.
Thank you. SSgt Terence D. Murchison (703) 588 7203 DSN 425 7203 1800
