Forums Forums Wirral Information Law And Your Rights mobile phone scam

Please beware of the following scams involving mobile phones.

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.
