Welcome to Gaia! ::

My mom sent me this. I think it needs to be shared with everyone!

90# on your telephone


WHAT WILL THEY COME UP NEXT?


"I dialed '0', to check this out. I asked the operator who confirmed that this was correct so please pass it on . . . (l also checked out Snopes.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. 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 ANY ONE.

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 !!!!!
