You Should Know

90# on

                  your telephone



                  I dialed '0', to check this out, 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!) http://www.snopes.com/fraud/telephone/jailcall.asp




                  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 also said it was true, so do

                  not dial 90# for anyone!!!!!
