Hi All! I received this from one of my genealogy friends. Thought I'd pass it on. There's a new phone scam. Carol I received a telephone call yesterday 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 press 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 pressing 90# you give the 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 jails/prisons. I have also verified this information with Southwestern Bell, MCI, and GTE. Please beware. DO NOT PRESS 90# FOR ANYONE. The GTE Security Department requested I share this information with others. PLEASE pass this on to everyone you know. If you have mailing lists and/or newsletters from organizations you are connected with, I encourage you to pass on this information to them, too.
