Please pass this on, it has been confirmed
by Telstra & Australia Police.

I got a call last night 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 touch nine
(9),zero ( 0), hash (#) 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 gaols/prisons.

DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE. PLEASE pass this on to your friends. If
you have mailing lists and/or newsletters from organisations you are
connected with, I encourage you to pass this on.
