Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 AntuShay [antushay] Tuesday, May 06, 2008 4:00 AM 90# on cell phones 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 requestin g individual full access to your telephone line, which enables them to place long distance call s 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 EVERYONE I KNOW. After checking with Verizon they also said it was true, so do not dial 90# for anyone !!!!! PLEASE HIT THAT FORWARD BUTTON AND PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!! Windows Live SkyDrive lets you share files with faraway friends. Start sharing.
