>I received a telephone call 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 we should touch nine (9), zero
>(0),the pound sign (#) and then hang up. Luckily, we were suspicious and
>refused. Upon contacting the telephone company we were 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. We were further informed that this scam
>has been originating from many of the local jails/prisons.
>I have also verified this information with UCB Telecomm and Pacific Bell.
>Please beware. This sounds like an Urban Legend - IT IS NOT!!! I further
> called GTE Security this morning and verified that this is definitely
>possible.
>DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE. The GTE Security department requested that I
> have this information with EVERYONE I KNOW!!! Could you PLEASE pass
>this on. If you have mailing lists and/or newsletters from organizations
>you are connected with, I encourage you to pass on this information.
