90# Warning

January 1998

This warning is basically true for some but not all phone systems. Some PBX systems
transfer a call to an outside, long distance operator when you type 90# giving the caller an
outside line on your dime. It works if your phone system requires you to dial 9 to get an
outside line, 0 to get an operator and # to transfer the incoming call to the line you have just
dialed. Few home phones require you to dial 9 to get an outside line so dialing 90# will
only get you a busy signal. As this is one of thousands of potential scams, sending out a
message to everyone you know probably does more damage than the scam being warned
about.
