Please pass this on to anyone who has a cell phone and that will be all of us!


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.

Used to be called cell phones for obvious reasons, my mother in-law always called any camera a "Kodak" for obvious reasons.

Habit is hard to change sometimes. Bet your misses still calls the vacuum her "Hoover"?

Over here we don't generally consider no wheels to be a barrier to mobility.
