Dear list

There is an element of truth in this scam, but it only typically affects
PABXs that require you to press 9 to access an outside line, such as those
on office telephone systems. Therefore residential and mobile phones should
not be affected. Mobile phones are probably more at risk from cloning - but
I don't think there's much you can do about this!

There is quite a good explanation of this and other well know Internet
hoaxes and scams at http://korova.com/virus/hoax980212.htm for those that
are interested.

Cheers

Dave
