philcooper:
I think if this was that important they can ring me, like she said she has my number!

philcooper:
Curiosity got the better of me and I rang them, It was legit they are investigating a burglary and some guys phone got nick, apparently he then phoned my old phone number.

Anyway livened up my morning a little :police:

wing nut:
working for the nhs ,we had a memo ,saying if you have a caller asking you to press #90 then dont do it, as this allows the caller to make calls from your your phone system

lee celtic:

That's generally an urban legend;  the scam is people who can't be bothered to spend 2 minutes checking whether it's true then perpetuate the myth by sending out silly memos.

HOWEVER it is valid for some switchboards so might be true for yours!
