kerry davies Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Just got a call from a barrister friend about 'engineers' or reps from mobile companies calling up asking to test your phone. They ask that # followed by a number be dialled, whereupon the mobile number is hijacked and used to make calls ad infinitum. Just take care when answering and do not dial anything before calling your service provider and reporting to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlyfarly Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Apparently this has been circulating for over a decade and is partially true in certain circumstances, namely if you use PBX systems. This is what Snopes has to say about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
