Gift Cards May Carry
Fees, Expire
NEW YORK —
More people are giving gift cards to friends and relatives at
the holidays, but those who give the cards and those who get
them should be aware that they're not completely
consumer-friendly. Fees and expiration dates can trip up unwary
users, and there can be problems replacing lost cards........

DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE !!
From Yomoeh: I received a
telephone call last evening from an individual identifying
himself as an AT&T Service technician (could also be Telus)
who was conducting a test on the telephone lines. He
stated that to complete the test I
should touch nine( 9 ), zero( 0 ), the
pound sign ( # ), and then hang up.
Luckily, I was suspicious and refused.
Upon contacting the telephone company, I was informed that by
pushing 90#, you give the requesting individual full access to
your telephone line,&nbs p; which enables them to place
long distance calls billed to your
home phone number.
I was further informed that this scam has been originating from
many local jails/prisons.
The GTE Security Department requested that I share this
information with EVERYONE I KNOW.
After checking with Verizon they said it was true, so do not
dial 90# for anyone!!!!!
PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW

BEWARE WHEN
PURCHASING GIFT CARDS!
Well,
the crooks have found a way to rob you of your gift card
balance. If you buy Gift Cards from a
display rack that has various store
cards, you may become a victim of theft.
Crooks
are now jotting down the card numbers
in the store and then wait a few days
and call to see how much of a balance THEY have on the card.
Once they find the card is "activated", then they go
online and start shopping. You may
want to purchase your card from a customer
service person, where they do not have the Gift
Cards viewable to the public.
Please
share this with all your family and
friends...

Message
about your mobile phone
Phil Corris, Police

If you receive a phone call on your mobile from any person, saying
that, he or she is a company engineer, or
telling you 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.
