Hi,

I'll pass this on cause, well, you never know.
-------------------------------------------

Received this from a niece, told her I would pass it on --- Aurelie

I received a telephone call last evening from an individual identifying
>>themself 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. 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. I have also verified this
>>information with UCB Telecom, Pacific Bell, Please beware. DO NOT press 90#
>>for ANYONE. The GTE Security Department requested that I share this
>>information with EVERYONE I KNOW. PLEASE pass this on to everyone YOU
>>know. Jeff
