SCAM ALERT!!
8/7/2005 4:13:58 PM
This was just sent to me from a freind Please Read all. UPDATE: Well Sorry to say after I researched into this, I relized It only work on big organizations that have PBX'S Please check this out here: http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/jailcall.asp *************************************** Do Not Press 90# for anyone…] 90# on the telephone: PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW! 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. PLEASE pass this on to everyone YOU know. If you have mailing lists and/or newsletters from organizations you are connected with, I encourage you to pass on this information to them. After checking with Verizon they said it was true, so do not dial (9), zero (0) and the pound sign (#) and hang up for anyone. PLEASE HIT THAT FORWARD BUTTON AND PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!
