PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!
I received a telephone! e cal l 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 also said it was true, so do not
dial 90# for anyone !!!!!
PLEASE HIT THAT FORWARD BUTTON AND PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU
KNOW!!!
Pass this on.
I dialed '0' and asked the operator who confirmed that this was
correct so please pass it on . . . (l also checked out
Snopes.com..this is true, and also applies to cell phones!) |
