Hi folks this came across my email cannot verify it or discredit but it may be true Cheers Subject: Please pass this on, it has been confirmed by Telstra & Australia Police I got a call last night from an individual identifying himself as an AT&T Service technician who was conducting a test on our Telephonelines. He stated that to complete the test I should touch nine(9),zero ( 0), hash (#) 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 allows Them to place long distance telephone calls billed to your home phone number. I was further informed that this scam has been originating from many of the local gaols/prisons. DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE. PLEASE pass this on to your friends. If you have mailing lists and/or newsletters from organizations you are connected with, I encourage you to pass this on.
