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.

FAKE STATUS: active, develops
APPEARANCE: 2015(in Europe it has been actively spreading since the beginning of November 2016, it arrived in Russia on November 10, and arrived in St. Petersburg on November 13, 2016)

IN BRIEF: another transfer fake

November 13, 2016, when we were just finishing the description of the fake about "a maniac who kills mothers with strollers", vigilant fighters sent us another “brain download”:

It turned out that this was quite a “new thing from the last few days” and, according to some tradition of spreading fakes, at the beginning it “flew” to the Far East:

"...Residents of Blagoveshchensk inform each other about the danger that may await them in their mailboxes. The threat, according to information distributed via WhatsApp, comes from packages with a “filling” - they contain a toxic substance. “Dear parents, if you find in your mailboxes there are similar packages - transparent with pieces of paper enclosed, it seems Turkish, perhaps excerpts from the Koran - do not open the packages, call the police. There is a poisonous substance inside, there are victims. Warn your loved ones,” says the voice in the audio message sent among. Messenger users have not reported what kind of substance is in the packages..."

Oops... again through whatsapp and again voice message in a woman's voice? I remember that in past years, the story about “bananas with the blood of HIV-infected people” and about “18 terrorists” began with the same thing, and then the distribution began throughout the CIS from the territory of Kazakhstan and Tatarstan.

Yeah, we weren’t mistaken - judging by the dating, it appeared there at the beginning and - let’s pay attention - the text has already changed, in the Far East version “friend Zhanna, whose husband was poisoned and is in the hospital” has disappeared:

This information was not confirmed by the press services of the departments of internal affairs of Astana and Almaty. “Such cases were not reported to the police,” noted the Almaty Department of Internal Affairs. “Criminal liability is provided for the dissemination of knowingly false information, including using the media or information and communication networks. In this regard, every citizen must carefully express their thoughts, judgments, arguments, both out loud and on all kinds of platforms social networks", the department recalled. Dissemination of knowingly false information entails criminal liability up to imprisonment from 2 to 5 years.

but in Russia sound file, it seems, was different, there is no longer a word about “the friend of Jeanne’s husband”, someone happily re-recorded it “for the good”. By the way, don’t you have the feeling that the “announcer” is reading the text in front of him, artificially highlighting pauses with his voice?:

So we have:

• some packages
• some text
• some CDs

Our fighter-consultants of the Islamic faith, looking at the text, immediately gave the result. It turned out that these are Surahs from the Koran in Turkish:

10:64. For believers, there is joyful news about a good lot in this life: Allah promised them victory and dignity. And in the future life, Allah's promise to them will be fulfilled. After all, Allah’s promise will definitely come true! And this for them is great success in this life and in the life to come!

2:136. Tell them: “We believe in Allah and in what was revealed to us in the Quran, and in what was revealed to Ibrahim, Ismail, Ishaq, Yaqub and his tribes, and in what was given to Musa and Isa without distortion, and in what was given to all the other prophets from their Lord. We do not discriminate between them, believing in some and rejecting others, and we surrender to Allah.”

3:3. Allah has sent down to you (O Muhammad!) the Koran - a truthful Book that confirms the truth of the heavenly laws of the previous Scriptures. And He sent down the Torah to Musa and the Gospel to Isa.

5:46. Following in the footsteps of the prophets, We sent Isa, the son of Maryam, who followed in their footsteps and confirmed the truth of the Torah. We sent down to him the Gospel, in which there is guidance and Light to the straight path of truth. It explains the commandments and confirms the truth of what was revealed before him in the Torah. It contains guidance to the truth and admonition for the God-fearing.

5:47. We have commanded the followers of Isa and the owners of the Gospel to judge by what Allah has revealed. And the one who does not judge by what Allah has revealed is an apostate, a violator of Allah’s Sharia.

Nothing criminal - about Islam, the Prophet, Jesus, Mary and the Gospel. In short, “peace to the world, all people are brothers.” Strange... Has this happened somewhere before? Let's see...

And oh... Hello, Europe...

What a familiar text! Well, is it a fake translation again?

Well, Europe arrived a little earlier and fellow investigators did the “European” part of the work for us:

"...Already a few days ago we reported about CDs that were allegedly poisoned. They are being distributed through various messages on Facebook status, claiming that they were allegedly handed to someone on the street or delivered directly by mail.

We have collected all the post options in one place for you, and also conducted consultations with the police:

Lyubov Kerpen, Cologne Area,
Be careful! Those CDs in your mailbox are poison! They are saturated with poison, and now they have appeared in Kerpen; yesterday they were already in houses in Cologne. Please, please do not touch with bare hands, only with gloves or newspaper. Our friend has already been poisoned and is now in the hospital with breathing problems. Tell everyone, warn your loved ones and friends.

And what does this have to do with the disc with sermons, which was apparently distributed on the street to everyone?

What do we have here? The above picture contained a link to a story about "white powder". Well, what did they find there?

Hmmm... Fake consolidators of scattered information seem to be the same in all countries - here they talk about a certain ANTHRAX powder found, but this has nothing to do with the above CDs. We are talking about a type of white powder that was checked by the police FOR A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT REASON. Result: The powder was not dangerous |

Well, what was it anyway? It happened back in 2015, and it was distributed from a Turkish account as an appeal to “unbelievers in Germany.” Well, like “brothers, you are not professing something as you should”:

And what? and NOTHING - in real life, no one, according to the German police, particularly saw such disks, either among Muslims, or among Europeans, neither in 2015 nor in 2016, just as there is no such thing as “the person who pricked himself with a needle in the subway yesterday, and today was taken to the hospital with AIDS.” my neighbor's brother's sister's friend's hospital." Well, in the end, no one forbids spreading one’s creed in this way. It just has nothing to do with terrorism.

• no disks, especially those with powders, were found

• in this case it was an anti-Islamic provocation

• If you ever find something strange in your mailbox, you won’t open it and happily smell it, will you? That's right, you just call the police or contact us if you don't want to bother the police right away in vain. Just don't open what you found :-)

• Now some idiots can joke like that :-(

DO NOT immediately write about this on VKontakte - TELL US by mail or VKontakte

P.S.: LET'S STROKE THE BRAKE?

let's try to slow it down in RUNet?

INVESTIGATION VIDEO FORMAT:

ABOUT THE DANGEROUS OF TRUST WITHOUT CHECKING INFORMATION...

in the afternoon of November 14, on the Internet, on one Moscow resource VKontakte with an audience of 300-000 people, a certain “hybrid” was discovered, which was perceived extremely negatively by us and the employees of the Office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs (FALSE information is underlined in red):

It was difficult to imagine such a “gluing together” of information flows except as a variant of the thoughtless excessive fun of the administrators. A representative of the “public press service” responded to the request in the evening and during the conversation it turned out that... the information in this form was provided to them... by an acquaintance of a law enforcement officer... correspondence, which we do not present here, confirms this, i.e. . in this case, we are not dealing with “the information was given by a friend of a neighbor’s sister’s brother, whose cousin works in the Ministry of Internal Affairs\FSB\Presidential Administration,” but with the strange action of an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who, apparently, is time to re-pass psychological testing for suitability for the position he holds ...

We must pay tribute - after 15 minutes of negotiations, this post was deleted, and the admins were left under the impression that they could have been set up by an employee they knew...

But some citizens are still eager to become a source of “particularly significant information” with a traditional presentation a la “I have relatives in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.” Well, our condolences to such “relatives from the Ministry of Internal Affairs”, if they existed in reality. After all, for such “informing citizens” you can get at least a reprimand:

By the way, let’s note: the phrase “okay, I deleted it” refers to the previous fake, which the troubled lady posted there and which she was asked to delete.

Indeed, bad news... in the sense of the responsibility that her “mother-in-law” would bear if she actually worked for the “authorities” and disseminated such information.

It is also useful to remember:

• story

The message, which is also received by residents of Yekaterinburg, contains an audio file and a photograph. “Dear parents, if you find similar packages in your mailboxes - transparent, with inserted pieces of paper (Turkish, it seems), perhaps excerpts from the Koran - do not open the packages, call the police. There is a poisonous substance inside, there are victims,” warns an alarming female voice.

It is known that in addition to Yekaterinburg, panic is spreading in the Amur region. Several Blagoveshchensk portals wrote about similar cases.

The police say that they have not received any complaints from citizens regarding dubious packages, and urge them to find out the specifics from the senders of such messages: who received such a package, where did they go after that?

Valery Gorelykh, head of the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Sverdlovsk Region:

Someone, distributing such information messages on the Internet, is creating a provocation: to intimidate the population, causing panic out of nowhere. Before looking at the contents of the package, any sane person would look at the return address. The very fact that you receive a suspicious email is a reason not to open it. If the sender is questionable, we always recommend contacting the internal affairs authorities.

Valery Gorelykh points out that poisonous letters are not a Russian invention and not even of today. For example, in the fall of 2001, two dozen American citizens received envelopes containing anthrax spores, and five people died.

As for messages distributed through various channels, Valery Gorelykh recommends ignoring letters and “marking them as spam.”

It should be noted that townspeople regularly scare each other with stories of varying degrees of authenticity. A month ago, for example, a story about a Chinese one was circulating on the Internet. Before this, 39 Yekaterinburg residents allegedly became victims. This information received no confirmation: not a single real victim was found.

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 operates in normal mode. We had a break for 15 minutes, but only because the computers malfunctioned,” said the 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 an empty sheet of 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.
