Airlines hire these people to be reservationists. Yep, that's right. Whole

work forces are contained in our prisons. They're cheap, and they can't skip

out on work!!!!

FYI: Phone Scam

Just received this warning from Washington State

School Board about a phone scam.

A friend received a telephone call last evening from

an individual identifying himself as an AT & T Service

technician who was conducting a test on 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.

I have also verified this information with UCBTelecom,

Pacific Bell, MCI, Bell Atlantic and GTE. Please

beware. DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE.

The GTE Security Department requested that I share

this information with EVERYONE I KNOW. PLEASE pass

this on to everyone YOU know. If you have mailing

lists and/or newsletters from organizations you are

connected

with, I encourage you to pass on this

information to them, too. After checking with Verizon

they said it was true, so do not dial (9), zero (0),

the pound sign # and hang up for anyone.>

PLEASE PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW >>>

Yep, it's exactly what they did in Nazi Germany with the slave labor in the

camps. Corporations are always looking to save a buck. Prison population is

a great work force. no sick days, no malingering, no tardiness, no bogus

car-breaking-down excuses. Round 'em up, put 'em in prison, and pay 'em

$1.00 a day. Sounds like Krupp, Siemans, etc. back in the Nazi heydays.

There's just one thing I don't understand about this which makes me

suspicious that the scam is a scam: how could prisoners make a large

number of phone calls? - they are in prison/jail - don't you get just

ONE phone call? or if you are there for a long time, limited access

to phones?

in any event, I'll not be dialing 90# for anyone!
