please pass this on it has been confirmed

by
Telstra & Australia Police


who got a call 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, 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 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 organisations you are
connected with, I encourage you to pass this on.
