(l also checked out Snopes.com. This is true, and also applies to cell phones!)     PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW   I received a telephone call last evening from an individual identifying himself as an AT&T Service Technician (could also be Telus) who was conducting a test on the 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 enables them to place long distance calls billed to your home phone number.   I was further informed that this scam has been originating from many local jails/prisons   DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE.   The GTE Security Department requested that I share this information with EVERYONE I KNOW.   After checking with Verizon they also said it was true, so do not dial 90# for anyone !!!!! PLEASE HIT THAT FORWARD BUTTON AND PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!
