This may be a bit off topic, but I thought it was worthwhile
sharing. I came across this on another list.
------------------------
I received this today from a friend of mine...
I received a telephone call from an individual identifying
himself as an AT&T Service Technician that was running a test on
our telephone lines.
He stated that to complete the test I should touch nine (9), zero
(0), pound sign (#) and hang up. Luckily, I was suspicious and
refused.
Upon contacting the telephone company we were informed that by
pushing 90# you end up giving the individual that called you access to
your
telephone line and allows them to place a long distance telephone
call, with
the charge appearing on your telephone bill.
We were further informed that this scam has been originating from
many of the local jails/prisons. Please "pass the word".
