According to St. Petersburg residents, they receive messages about unknown persons planting poisoned objects in boxes in popular instant messengers. In addition, warnings about such danger can be found on social networks.

Notify all your family and friends. IN mailboxes they throw bags, gift-type bags, under no circumstances should they be opened. Inside there is a clipping from the Koran, a disk and a rag/napkin soaked in a toxic substance, the text of the message says.

It also states that because of what happened, accidents have allegedly already been recorded in Russia. At the end of the message, its author calls for distributing this text among acquaintances, friends and loved ones.

Previously, a wave of panic had already reached the Far East; recently, corresponding messages were spread in Central Russia.

Dear parents, if you find similar packages in your mailboxes - transparent with inserted pieces of paper, it seems Turkish, perhaps excerpts from the Koran - do not open the packages, call the police. There is a toxic substance inside, there are victims. Warn your loved ones - according to Amur media, this is exactly the message sent by residents of the Far East last weekend, attaching the same photo of supposed dangerous packages. However, the text does not specify in detail what kind of poison is contained in the parcels.

In Bashkiria, the messages acquired an even more threatening scale. Besides standard information about “packages with a poisonous substance” distributed in local groups on social networks, the text says that “dangerous packages” have already led to sad consequences: supposedly a certain “husband of one girl” has already been admitted to the hospital. To make it more convincing, the authors attach the same photo with the disks. Messages written as carbon copies can also be found on the social network Twitter. Residents of Moscow and the Moscow region are also distributing warnings.

However, law enforcement agencies have already rushed to refute the information about the alleged victims (for example, in the same Bashkiria, the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the republic stated that not a single such case had been registered on the territory of the subject). Many social network users are skeptical about “another horror story from the Internet” and recall another story that circulated on the Internet just recently.

Let us remember that in 2015, users were excited by the story about “narcotic chewing gum,” with the help of which drug dealers allegedly hooked children on drugs. Similar messages were distributed in instant messengers and social networks for several years, and from there they occasionally migrated to the media and were later refuted by law enforcement officials.

Packages with poison in mailboxes: harsh realities or fiction?

A horror story is being spread in several groups on social networks about how ill-wishers are putting disks with the Koran in bags, as well as some kind of poisonous substance. All this is left in residents' mailboxes. Moreover, the reports invariably emphasize that there are victims. And in order for the user to completely believe it, a corresponding photo is placed in viral posts.

Moreover, such things scare not only in a single region, but throughout the entire expanse of the Russian Federation. The republic's Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Republic of Bashkiria said that no such facts were recorded.

Clipping from the Koran and a poisonous substance

Residents of Khabarovsk received warning messages in WhatsApp applications and Odnoklassniki. According to the AmurMedia portal, one of the Khabarovsk residents received a mysterious message, which was accompanied by a photo of CDs with instructions inside. The photo was accompanied by a disturbing audio: “Dear parents! If you find similar packages in your mailboxes - transparent, with pieces of paper enclosed in them, it seems, in Turkish, perhaps with excerpts from the Koran. Do not open the packages, call the police.”

However, the information about packets of poison placed in the mailbox appears to be a myth designed to sow panic among residents. As the press service of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for Khabarovsk said, they have not received any statements about finds of this kind.

Here is today's article, I have highlighted the main thing.

Judging by reports from citizens, a wave of panic has reached the Northern capital, caused by reports of allegedly poisoned packages being dropped into mailboxes.
According to St. Petersburg residents, they receive messages that poisoned objects have been planted in their box through popular instant messengers. In addition, warnings about such danger can be found on social networks.

In one of the branches of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Russian Post" in the south of Moscow, several dozen envelopes with a suspicious powder. The letters were found after several employees became ill - they began to feel dizzy and developed a rash.

The incident occurred the day before at about 19:00 in department No. 117545, located on Podolsky Cadets Street. “The postmen reported that while processing incoming and outgoing correspondence they felt unwell - they became dizzy, began to vomit, and two women developed a rash on their hands,” BaltInfo news agency quotes a source in the capital’s law enforcement agencies.

Arriving law enforcement officers found 79 parcels emitting an unpleasant chemical odor, weighing from 4 to 15 g, from which pink powder was pouring out. The post office was closed, and the suspicious parcels were sent to Rospotrebnadzor. Paramedics treated five victims at the scene.

In the press service of Russian Post to a correspondent "Ytra" confirmed this information. “Over the last two days, OPS No. 117545 received first-class postal items (with cash on delivery) in an amount of more than 70 pieces, returned after the expiration of the storage period and unclaimed by the addressees. Postal items packed in plastic bags, the packaging is not deformed, there is no direct access to the contents. From the moment the shipments arrived, two employees felt a deterioration in their health,” the Federal State Unitary Enterprise explained.

At the same time, department No. 117545 stated that there were no emergency situations. “The department is operating as normal. We had a break for 15 minutes, but only because the computers failed,” said a postal employee. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, in turn, reported that the data was being clarified.

At the end of October, two people came to the St. Petersburg travel agency Gala Tour. When the general director of the company opened the envelope, she saw blank sheet paper. Taking it in her hands, the 54-year-old woman felt a burning sensation on her skin, and she also began to have a sore throat. After that, she hurried to throw the letter into the trash. When she received a second similar message, she immediately contacted the police. Both letters are being examined.

Note that criminals often resort to sending poisoned letters. Thus, after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, several people, including employees of the US Congress, became infected with anthrax after receiving messages containing a dangerous strain. As a result, 5 people were killed and 17 were injured.

And in 2008, Svetlana Zheludeva, deputy director of the Shubnikov Institute of Crystallography, died of poisoning. She was hospitalized in a coma after opening an envelope with an unknown white powder. As doctors found out, the woman was infected with viral hepatitis B.

Yekaterinburg residents report dangerous packages in their mailboxes with quotes from the Koran

In Yekaterinburg, parents of schoolchildren and kindergarteners send each other messages on social networks and instant messengers about dangerous packages with quotations from the Koran, which unknown persons are scattering through mailboxes. As the site correspondent reports, the photo sent shows two round vacuum bags with an unknown purple substance. The packages have stickers with quotes from the Koran in Turkish.

In addition, along with the photo, they send out an audio file with the following content: “Dear parents, if you find similar packages in your mailboxes, do not open them, call the police. There is a toxic substance inside, there are victims. Warn your loved ones."

However, the message does not say in which city the packages were found.

. “These messages are very reminiscent of chain letters that were popular in Soviet times. It feels like some ladies are causing panic here,” the colonel noted.

According to him, in any case, you cannot open suspicious packages; upon receiving them, you must contact the internal affairs authorities. “The official postal parcel must indicate from whom it came and to whom it was sent. A normal person will not open some suspicious package,” Gorelykh said.

Let us note that not so long ago, parent chats and social networks were overwhelmed by panic for another reason. Yekaterinburg residents sent each other messages about chewing gum with drugs that unknown people were distributing near schools. There was also a “horror story” circulating online about low-quality antibiotics that should never be used by children.
