P3D phone scam - a meta-hoax
Recently circulating on the net (again) are dire warnings about
prison inmates charging long distance phone calls to people
after conning them into entering a 90# on their phones. This
is a meta-hoax.
There *is* a problem but ONLY if you are a business (not residential)
AND you are using a private branch exchange (PBX).
For details, see:
http://www.att.com/features/0398/90pound.html
This has been around for years, and telecom managers should
have long ago alerted the limited number of people who could
be affected about proper security measures.
If you receive one of these warnings, kindly do NOT forward it
along (especially to the mailing list!) and notify the sender
that they have been duped.
THANKS
