Phone Scam (Hoax?) Well now I have a dilemma. I just got what appears to be a hoax e-mail only this is on telephone security....not a virus. The guy who forwarded it to me had it sent to him by someone who had it sent to him....et cetera. It's a classic. Same drill as the virus hoaxes. Attention getting header...the originator of the letter said he got it from his Information Technology Group...a detail of how the phone scam works....a slammer about how much it will cost you in bucks....more authoritative remarks about how he checked it with UCB Telecom/GTE (evidently his RBOC) and how they said he should warn everyone he knows....and closes with a plea to post the #$%^#$@%^ message everywhere. So I have several phone lines and tried doing it to myself. Doesn't work. Can you imagine how swamped the local phone companies will get if messages of this type get about? Jesus, how do people who have time to create crap like this get access to computers? EDIT Never mind. After writing that last question I realized I see people like that on the "hype" threads all the time.
