Maybe this is another hoax….but posting it anyway! You decide

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 !!!!!

PLEASE HIT THAT FORWARD BUTTON AND PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU

KNOW!!!
