>I received a telephone call from an individual identifying

>Luckily, we were suspicious and refused. Upon contacting the

>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. I have verified with UCB Telecom.
>That this actually happens.

>I called GTE Security this morning and verified that this is definitely
>possible and DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE. It will give them access
> to your phone line to make long distances calls ANYWHERE!!! The
>GTE Security department told me to go ahead and share this
>information with EVERYONE I KNOW!!!

>Could you PLEASE pass this on. If you have mailing lists and/or
