Mobile phone scam

[Essexeddie]

Beware in case you receive a call from a 'Company Engineer' on your mobile checking your line connection. She or he will ask you to press *09 or *90. DONT press any number, just hang up.

If you do they will access your phone.

Sorry Edd, I thought you were being serious. I have a bit of a dry sense of humour and sometimes people take me the wrong way.
