I recently received this information on the latest phone scam from my
Information Technology Department and I figured that I would pass it on.

Subject: PHONE SCAM

I received a telephone call 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 we should touch nine (9), zero (0), the
pound sign (#) and then hang up. Luckily, we were suspicious and refused.

Upon contacting the telephone company we were informed that by pushing 90# 
you
give the requesting individual full access to your telephone line, which
allows them to place a long distance telephone calls billed to your home 
phone
number. We were further informed that this scam has been originating from 
many
of the
local jails and prisons. I have also verified this information with UCB
Telecomm.

Please beware. This sounds like an Urban Legend - IT IS NOT!!! I further
called GTE Security this morning and verified that this is definitely
possible.

DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE. The GTE Security department requested that I
share this information with EVERYONE I KNOW !!!

Could you PLEASE pass this on. If you have mailing lists and/or newsletters
from organizations you are connected with, I encourage you to pass on this
information.
