Dear All

If you receive a phone call on your mobile from any person, saying that he

or she is a company engineer, or telling that they're checking your mobile

line, and you have to press #90 or #09 or any other number, end this call

immediately without pressing any numbers.

There is a fraud company using a device that once you press #90 or #09

they can access your 'SIM' card and make calls at your expense.

Forward this message to as many colleagues, relatives and friends as you

can, to stop it.

Many thanks for your time regarding this matter, take care and regards.

I know another scam they used to have somewhat similar to this one. You would get a call saying that you had an important message, and to connect you had to press a 2 or 3 digit code, in actuality you were accepting a long distance call, almost like a 900 number calling you, but still getting charged. Was probably from some country like Guam or some off the wall place that the number was routed through.
