I received a telephone call from an individual identifying himself as an
AT&T Service Technician that was running a test on our telephone lines.
He stated that to complete the test I should touch nine (9), zero (0),
pound sign (#) and hang up. Luckily, I was suspicious and refused.
Upon contacting the telephone company we were informed that by pushing 90#
you end up giving the individual that called you access to your telephone
line and allows them to place a long distance telephone call, with the
charge appearing on your telephone bill. We were further informed that this
scam has been originating from many of the local jails/prisons. Please
"pass the word".
