90# on your telephone

I dialed '0' and 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 ANYONE.

The GTE Security Department requested that I share this information
with EVE RYONE I KNOW.

After checking with Verizon they also said it was true,
so do not dial 9 0# for anyone !!!!!

PLEASE HIT THAT FORWARD BUTTON AND PASS THIS ON TO
EVERYONE YOU KNOW
