BEWARE!!!!!

         

                           

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.

Phil Corris
Police Constable/Crime Prevention Officer

The "real" scam is the charges the public are paying for the privilege of yapping to each other.

Vicar,
nice to see your up.

Ok,
every time i post a
WARNING,
i do so with the thought it just may be a hoax.

But then i think of the newspaper industry,
then think,
OK,
every time i post a warning ect...


Sometimes what we read,
be it email or
daily whateveryouread,
you think, just maybe this news is a hoax ect.

It makes the world go round,
it sweetens the bitter pill of daily life as we know it,
but like easter,
its message was lost by trillions of chocolate eggs.

Hows the volvo?
