G'day all, not sure what to make of it but it was e-mailed to me. Might be worth keeping in mind.
Cheers, Jack ---- Warning from Victoria Police--this is NO JOKE! Please ensure you read this and pass on This has been confirmed by Telstra: DO NOT push 90# on your home phone.I 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, 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. Stephen COOPER Detective Senior Constable 29748 Victoria Police State Crime Squads Level 12, 412 St. Kilda Road, Melbourne (03) 9865 2663 0414644499 stephen.cooper@police.vic.gov.au |
