Article: [senco-forum] Not SEN, mobile phone scam.

My daughter (civil servant) was recently sent this message from the  
Police:
Subject: Mobile phones

For your information

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.

Phil Corris
