[ILUG] Mobile Phone scam? hoax?

[ILUG] Mobile Phone scam? hoax?

Join the club on the riding number of "GoodTimes" Phone emails ...

Just wait for the SMS virus !!

Well on a Nokia phone all 09# does is open a memory location (on the SIM,
one of the phone book entries), the other (#90) could be a call code, so I'd
be wary, anyway if, as said, you're that thick ...

It's like when I worked for AOL, customers used get these Instant messages
asking for their passwords, and although there's a RED WARNING about it on
each IM window, they'd go ahead and give out their passwords, and then they
wonder how someone else is using their account !
