Poisoned Envelopes at the Autoteller
June 1999
Instead of needles, this hoax puts poison on the envelopes found in the
autoteller machine.
Very scary! Please read..............
Whenever you go to an automatic teller machine to make deposits, make
sure you don't lick the deposit envelopes. (spit on it) A customer died
after licking an envelope at a teller machine at Yonge & Eglinton.
According to the police, Dr. Elliot at the Women's college hospital
found traces of cyanide in the lady's mouth and digestive system and
police traced the fatal poison to the glue on the envelope she deposited
that day. They then did an inspection of other envelopes from other
teller machines in the area and found six more. The glue is described as
colourless and odourless. They suspect some sickco is targeting this
particular bank and has been putting the envelopes beside machines at
different locations. A spokesperson from the bank said their hands are
tied unless they take away the deposit function from all machines. So
watch out,and please forward this message to the people you care about.
