Now thinking of numbers.
This is 154
154
Now they tell me there's a guy who is ringing homes and business telephones and stating that he is a Telstra technician.
He wants you to do a basic line check.
He asks you to check the line by pressing the keys; 9 0 and # in that sequence.
Don't press 90#......
This then gives him direct access to your telephone line. You are giving him an opportunity to ring anywhere in the world for free.
This came through on an inter company regional memo at my Caltex garage yesterday. My friend there showed me the memo. It was marked "Telephone Warning".
Will talk to one of my Telstra customers today to find out what this is about.
In the interim if someone rings you and asks you to do this tell them to F
CK OFF.
Anyway the number is now 154...
