Mobile Scam

    THIS HAS BEEN VERIFIED

    If you get a phone call on your mobile from an Esat or Eircell engineer, telling you that they are doing a check on your phone and
    that you have to press 90 / 90, END THE CALL IMMEDIATELY. There is a
    fraud company on the go who have devised a device that once you have pressed 90 / 90 they can access your SIM card and make calls from it at your expense.

    Please pass this email onto people you know, who have mobiles.

    Has that been verified in Ireland? That happens in the US and not just Mobiles.
