from someone random, say, in a parking lot or gas station! i just heard a story about a woman who was handed a business card by a supposed handy man. the woman then got in her car and started driving away. after a short period of time, she was starting to feel dizzy and very woozy and pulled into someone's driveway.
i then heard that the supposed 'handyman' was planning to do something to the woman! he put some sort of drug on the card and it leached into the woman's skin and made her quite ill.
just a head's up for all my fellow mylotters!!

Oh wow! That's terrible. I'm always careful when I take change out of a vending machine because I've heard cases where people have been known to put needles in the change receptacle that have been infected with the AIDS virus. I wouldn't think of the business card, seemingly safe. To be honest, I would have taken the business card as well.

Thank you for the information

Just checked this out with snopes.com. This is an unsubstantiated urban legend. Sorry.

Whatever next, is there no end and no length as to what people will do? It's a very sad and sick society we live in, if people resort to doing this? You think you have heard the worst until someone comes up with another idea to attack another human, and this method I have to say is appalling! Is it any wonder why you can't trust anyone nowadays and you have to be so careful, I mean who would doubt accepting an innocent business card? Any nefarious thoughts certainly don't enter your head! Thanks for the heads up.

That has the SPY stink to it.
a bit like "From RUSSIA with LOVE" That how they got the SPY in England and killed him.

But that was with an Umbrella and a little poison pill.

You must have seen that when he was in Hospital and died, it was in all the papers here.

RUSSIA killed him.

Oh my gosh, is that even possible? That is terrible and very scary. It's so tough to be 100% on your guard. I mean, chemicals on a business card that make a person dizzy? This is a crazy world we live in.

shocked I have never heard of this but I will think twice bout business cards now. Thas a shame and that hurts business's who need to get those cards out so they can keep business. Its a shame crime just finds new avenues and its a shame they cant do good instead of evil.
