Just received this from West yorkshire police

If you receive a phone call on your mobile from any person, saying that he or she is a company engineer, or telling 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#09 or #90 they can access your "sim" card and make calls at your expense. :eek:

Beat me to it mate! :D

There is a grain of truth (http://www.snopes.com/fraud/telephone/jailcall.asp) in it but nothing for any of us to worry about that's for sure. ;)

Apparently been doing the rounds since 1998! :eek2:
