Fwd on 2 anyone u know with a mobile. If u get a call from anyone saying that they're a company engineer, or that they're checking ur line, and ask u 2 press #90 or #09 or any no's, end this call without pressing any no's. A fraud company is using a device that once u press #90 or #09 they can access ur 'SIM' card and make calls at ur expense. Fwd message 2 as many people as u can.

Sintra, we need the phone number that’s making the calls. So we can over indulge in some Scambaiting. My e-mail account regularly receives up to 50 to 60 messages a day from Africans asking me for telephone and bank details. I won the Nigerian lottery three times this week and have been awarded £3500 for an accident I never knew I had. The aim of the game is to jam up their phones so they won't have time to bother me anymore? Two birds, one stone!
I just spent a happy 1/2 hour replying with a number they can get me on. It works!
Had an email off one of them:-"Ok - I call you not anser"

So I replied "Keep trying. I've been outside"

Take a look at the link and especially the section on the origins of the scam

This is not to suggest that they dont exist,but these warnings have circulated widely for many years and are on the whole unfounded,
