>>I received a telephone call today from an individual identifying himself as
>an AT&T Technician who was conducting a test on our 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
>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
>UCB Telecomm, Pacific Bell, MCI, Bell Atlantic, GTE and NYNEX.  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.  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.
