Telephone Hacking Warning - Hi Everyone Please read below and pass on to your family & friends. 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. PLEASE pass this on to your friends. If you have mailing lists and/or newsletters from organizations you are connected with, I encourage you to pass this on. Stephen Cooper Detective Senior Constable 29748 Victoria Police State Crime Squads Level 12, 412 St. Kilda Road , Melbourne (03) 9865 2663 (03) 9865 2663 or 0414644499 [email protected]
