(PARIS, Reuters) Three French prisoners were released through the open doors of their jail after prison officials fell for a fake fax.
The fax was written on official stationery and signed by a judge.
The officials were so sure the fax was real that they neither checked the return number nor called the judge to confirm it.
假传真放走法国犯人
【路透社巴黎电】法国监狱官员上了假传真的当,释放了三名犯人,让他们从监狱大门走出去。
那份传真的内容写在官方信纸上,而且还有法官的签名。
监狱官员非常肯定那份传真是真的,因此他们根本没有检查回复传真的号码,也没有与那位法官联络,确认此文件是否正确无误。
