DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE

[Teresa]

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! )

    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 requesting
individual full access to your telephone line, which
enables them 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.

After checking with Verizon they also said it was
true, so do not dial 90# for anyone !!!!!
