A July 2004 version shifted the story to Canada. Yet again, 19-year-old Lauren barely escapes disaster, but in this instance she does so by dialing *677. (The number *677, aka *OPP, is the non-emergency cell caller line of the Ontario Provincial Police.)

Dialing *77 will work in some states (a factor the email fails to mention) and for other state emergency numbers, you can look here: http://www.shopoakpark.com/info-cellnumbers.html
The long and the short of it? The email is most likely a hoax with some spots of truth. Find out the REAL emergency numbers for your area first.

Someday, in the event that mankind actually figures out what it is that this world actually revoles around, thousands of people are going to be shocked and perplexed that it was not them. Sometimes this includes me.
