Mobile Phone Scam
I received this email and as you can see it has been confirmed to be true
This is genuine; we had the same advice from our Special Branch people. Steve -----Original Message----- From: lisa.boaz@leicestershire.pnn.police.uk [mailto:lisa.boaz@leicestershire.pnn.police.uk] Subject: North Mobile phone scam If you receive a phone call on your mobile from any person, saying that, he or she is a company engineer, or telling you 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. ********** Internet email is not to be treated as a secure means of communication.
