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.

It should have lancashire.pnn.police.uk for a proper police email addy. Last edited by Violet; 23rd Aug 2009 8:51pm. "C20 LET bang"

Without fail they have all turned out to be false or only slightly based on truth. The above scam does not work with mobile or residential numbers, according to snopes.
