Don't Fall for the 90#

[Vuong Phung <vphung () SCIENCE SJSU EDU>]

Greeting,

According to the FCC http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/90Scam.html this scam still out there. I assume most 
University phone systems are PBX; how can one check to make sure his or her phone is safe from this scam (I guest I can 
just try it myself)? Does this scam work on most phones at home? How can one protect oneself from this scam beside what 
listed on fcc website?

Imaging a faculty or staff receive a call with a request to dial 90# and this person do so because s/he doesn't know 
about this scam or the phone system allow s/he to do so.

Thanks!

Vuong
