This was sent to me and I thought if was a good thing to pass on.
90# on your telephone
I dialed '0' and asked the operator who confirmed that this was correct so
please pass it on.
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.
