> For guys in US:

> This was sent to me over the weekend from one of my friends.

> " I received a telephone call from an individual identifying

> himself as an AT&T Service Technician who was conducting a test on our

> telephone lines. He stated that to complete the test we should touch

> nine

> (9), zero (0), the pound sign (#) and then hang up. Luckily, we were

> suspicious and refused. Upon contacting the telephone company we

> were informed that by pressing 90# you give the requesting individual

> full access to your telephone line, which allows them to place long

> distance telephone calls billed to your home phone number. We were

> further informed that this scam has been originating from many of

> the local jails/prisons. I have also verified this information with

> UCB Telecomm. I further called GTE Security this morning and verified

> that this is definitely possible. DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE.

> The GTE Security department requested that I share this

> information with EVERYONE I KNOW!!! Could you PLEASE pass this on. If

> you

> have mailing lists and/or newsletters from organizations you are

> connected with, I encourage you to pass on this information.
