Please ensure you read this and pass on. This has been confirmed
by Telstra:
DO NOT dial 90# on your home phone.
A friend got a call last night from an individual identifying himself
as an AT&T Service technician who was conducting a test on our
telephone
lines. He stated that to complete the test I should touch
nine(9),zero(0), hash (#) and then hang up.
Luckily, SHE was suspicious and refused.
Upon contacting the telephone company, SHE 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.
