90# on your telephone I dialed '0' to check this out,
and the operator confirmed that this was correct, so please pass it on..

(l also checked out snopes.com <http://snopes.com/> ;andtruthorfiction.com <http://truthorfiction.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.

I naturally 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!!!
