>To all---- Be aware of this scam.

>I received a telephone call last evening from an individual identifying

>himself as an AT & T Service technician who was conducting a test on

>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 requesting individual full access to your

>telephone line, which enables him/her 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 9,0, # for ANYONE. The GTE Security Department

>requested that I share this information with EVERYONE I KNOW. If you have

>mailing lists and/or newsletters from organizations you are connected with,

>I encourage you to pass on this information to them, 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 this on to everyone YOU know

>AND

>CARE ABOUT.
