-- Fw: ALERT!!! Phone Scam

PLEASE PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOWI received a telephone call last evening from an individualidentifying himself as an AT & T Service technician who was conducting a test on telephone lines. He stated that to complete the test I should touchnine(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. I have also verified this information with UCB Telecom, Pacific Bell, MCI, Bell Atlantic and GTE. Please beware. DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE. The GTE Security Department requested that I share thisinformation with EVERYONE I KNOW. PLEASE pass this on to everyone YOU know.If you have mailing lists and/or newsletters from organizations youare connected with, I encourage you to pass on this information tothem, too.After checking with Verizon they said it was true, so do not dial(9), zero(0), the pound sign # and hang up for anyone.PLEASE PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW
