Ok I can take a reggected e-mail back ? did you ever hear of this with your work ?
(not me)
I received a telephone call last evening from an individual identifying
himself as an AT&T Service technician who was conducting a test on
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 I have also verified this information with UCB
Telecom,Pacific Bell, MCI, Bell Atlantic and GTE. Please beware.
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
(9),zero
(0), the pound sign # and hang up for anyone.
