Got a call last night from an individual identifying himself as an
Telstra 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 Jails/prisons.

DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE.
