Title: Illegible Fax Hijinx Post by: dystopia on May 31, 2007, 01:33:25 PM Faulty fax, mistaken as threat, prompts evacuation of stores http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2007/05/31/faulty_fax_mistaken_as_threat_prompts_evacuation_of_stores/ Quote (http://cache.boston.com/bonzai-fba/AP_Photo/2007/05/31/1180610742_7268.jpg) A fax announcing a countdown to "Small Business Commitment Week" (left) was transmitted incorrectly to an Ashland Bank of America branch Tuesday, resulting in the image on the right which was interpreted as a bomb threat. (AP Photo) ASHLAND -- In a scene reminiscent of the Cartoon Network bomb scare that paralyzed the Boston area in January, police shut down a strip mall yesterday in this small western suburb after employees at a Bank of America branch mistook a botched fax for a bomb threat. Frustrated shop owners said the branch overreacted to the strange fax, which turned out to be an in-house marketing document sent by the bank's corporate office.
