more fake Shnit???

Thanks to Anniepie for this Shnitbit.

"Just got this and I have not investigated its validity since the person who sent it claims they had.

I dialed '0', to check this out, asked the operator, who confirmed that this was correct.
l also checked out Snopes.com. This is true, and also applies to cell phones!

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.
After checking with Verizon, they also said it was true. So do not dial 90# for anyone !!!!!"


Snopes.com claims this is partially correct but applies mostly to commercial telephone accounts.
