PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW
I received a telephone call last evening from an individual
identifying himself as an AT&T Service technician (could
also be Telus) who was conducting a test on the telephone
lines. He stated that to complete the test I should touch
nine( 9 ), zero( 0 ), the pound sign ( # ), and then hang
up.
Luckily, I was suspicious and refused.
Upon contacting the telephone company, I was informed that
by pushing 90#, you give the requesting individual full
access to your telephone line, which enables them to place
long distance calls billed to your home phone number.
I was further informed that this scam has been originating
from many local jails/prisons
DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE !!
The GTE Security Department requested that I share this
information
with EVERYONE I KNOW.
After checking with Verizon they said it was true, so do not
dial
90# for anyone!!!!! PLEASE HIT THAT FORWARD BUTTON AND PASS
THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW
