90# on your telephone


I dialed ' 0 ' and asked the operator who did 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 !!
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!!!!!
