Hello all, just a bit of info to save you a headache.
FYI - a friend of someone experienced the incident described below:
"I received a telephone call from an individual identifying himself as an
AT&T Service Technician that was running a test on our telephone lines.
He stated that to complete the test I should dial nine (9), zero (0),
pound
sign(#) and hang up. Luckily, I was suspicious and refused. Upon
contacting
the telephone company we were informed that by pushing 90# you end up
giving
the individual that called you access to your telephone line and allows
them
to place a long distance telephone call, with the charge appearing on
your
telephone bill. We were further informed that this scam has been
originating
from many jails/prisons. Please "pass the word".
Shad
