90# on your telephone
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!)
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 requestin g individual full access
to your telephone line,
which enables them to place long distance call s
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!!!
