Mobile Users BEWARE of this kind of call/s!!!

[sude]

Hi this mesage was forwarded to me by ITFreshersIndia. I found it pretty serious so i m posting it here...


If you receive a phone call on your mobile from any person, saying that, he or she is a company engineer, or tells 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 friends as you can, to stop it.

All mobile users pay attention if you receive a phone call and your mobile phone displays (XALAN) on the screen don't answer the call, END THE CALL IMMEDIATELY, if you answer the call, your phone will be infected by a virus. This virus will erase all IMEI and IMSI information from both your phone and your SIM card, which will make your phone unable to connect with the telephone network. You will have to buy a new phone.

This information has been confirmed by both Motorola and Nokia. There are over 3 Million mobile phones being infected by this virus in all around the world now. You can also check this news in the CNN web site.

i was working as a CSE in a mobile phone company and one day a customer called up and said that there was a rumor around that if u get a phone call frm a 12 digit number, and if u pick it up, the phone will blow up in ur hand!!!!! lol

that was abt 1 month back and the customer was calling frm surat.
