This will never happen to you. Ever. In a million years.
9 0 # on your telephone
I dialed ’0′ to check this out, and the operator confirmed that this was correct, so please pass it on… l also checked out snopes.com and truthorfiction.com (This is true, and also applies to cell phones!)
PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW — I received a telephone call last evening from an individual identifying himself as an AT&T Service Technician (could also be Telus) who was conducting a test on the telephone lines. He stated that to complete the test I should touch nine (9), zero (0), the pound sign (#), and then hang up. Luckily, I was suspicious and refused.
Upon contacting the telephone company, I was informed that by pushing 90#, you give the requesting individual full access to your telephone line, which enables them to place long distance calls billed to your home phone number.
I was further informed that this scam has been originating from many local jails/prisons. DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE…
After checking with Verizon they also said it was true, so do not dial 90# for anyone !!!!!
PLEASE HIT THAT FORWARD BUTTON AND PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!
OK, so let’s break this down.
- Apparently the fact that you can get free long distance to anywhere with almost every phone plan out there is not enough.
- The people who are too dumb to make enough money to afford such luxuries are the very same people who are smart enough to rob you.
- What does ‘full access to your telephone line’ mean? Like, mechanically, when the criminal picks up their phone, what happens?
- Does their phone remember that it “has control” of your line?
- What do they do if they want to use their own line again? Call you back?
- What would come up on the caller ID?
- Why does anyone believe these things?
So, to recap, someone please do this and let me know what happens. Don’t do it to me, though, just in case.
I love when emails are intended to scare you. By the way, may I offer you my business card?
Ladies: Pass this to friends and daughters! snopes verified. scarey stuff.
Police Warning (Send to Everyone)
People are R E A L L Y crazy! If you are a female, take heed! If you are male and have a significant female in your life who you care about, whether it’s your wife, your girlfriend, your daughter, your sister, your niece, your cousin, your next door neighbor; whomever………….. pass this along! Always, “Better safe than sorry!”
A man came over and offered his services as a painter to a female putting gas in her car and left his card. She said no, but accepted his card out of courtesy and got in her car. The man then got into a car driven by another gentleman. As the lady left the service station, she saw the men following her out of the station at the same time. Almost immediately, she started to feel dizzy and could not catch her breath. She tried to open the window and realized that the odor was on her hand; the same hand which accepted the card from the gentleman at the gas station. She then noticed the men were immediately behind her and she felt she needed to do something at that moment. She drove into the first driveway and began to honk her horn repeatedly to ask for help. The men drove away but the lady still felt pretty bad for several minutes after she could finally catch her breath. Apparently, there was a substance on the card that could have seriously injured her.
This drug is called ‘BURUNDANGA’ and it is used by people who wish to incapacitate a victim in order to steal from or take advantage of them. This drug is four times more dangerous than the date rape drug and is transferable on simple cards. So take heed and make sure you don’t accept cards at any given time you are alone or from someone on the streets. This applies to those making house calls and slipping you a card when they offer their services.
PLEASE SEND THIS E-MAIL ALERT TO EVERY FEMALE YOU KNOW!!!!
- I guess they assume nobody wants to kidnap your grandmother and that females like co-workers and friends are not significant. I think they are pretty right on this one.
- What did the guy with the painting card ask her if she needed to have painted? Her car? Why a painter? Why not a car detailer?
- Why call them ‘gentlemen’?
- What part of opening your car window would make you smell your hand?
- How long did she honk her horn before realizing that nobody was going to come out and help her?
- If some drowsy lady honked her horn a million times in your driveway would you come out?
- WHAT WOULD THOSE GUYS GAIN FROM MAKING SOMEONE GET IN A CAR ACCIDENT? THAT’S THE BEST THEY COULD DO IN THIS ONE.
This is crap – take business cards from everyone and smell them – sissies
OK, I am pretty open-minded and all but I don’t really understand this one. Is the Tea Party mad at Zazzle? And I know the font is 14 different colors and sizes but I need to give this to you the way I got it. Plus I don’t think it will look right in my racist mailing list tumblr.
Apparently they think that putting hearts and butterflies on the new stamp will make most people not realize that the rest is Arabic and probably not something we want to support.
The “probably” is a little misleading. I don’t think they really mean probably.
New Stamp – the second one!!!
USPS New 44-Cent Stamp Celebrates a Muslim holiday.
If there is only ONE thing you forward today… let it be this!
I don’t think anyone who got this only ever forwards ONE thing. I bet they forward a lot of things. And I bet they don’t really discriminate all that much. Right after this I got one that was a Little Johnny joke about how Obama sucks.
President Obama has directed the United States Postal Service to REMEMBER and HONOR the EID MUSLIM holiday season with a new commemorative 44-Cent First Class Holiday Postage Stamp.
I could look this up but I’m not going to. The fucking thing says zazzle.com on it. Zazzle.
REMEMBER to adamantly & vocally BOYCOTT this stamp, when you are purchasing your stamps at the post office.
Who goes to the post office to buy stamps? Do they still really have stamps?
All you have to say is “No thank you, I do not want that Muslim Stamp on my letters!”
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that nobody has ever said that in a Post Office. Ever. I bet more people have said: “The guy in the line ahead of me just shit his pants!” than have said that Muslim stamp thing.
Pass this along to every Patriotic American that you know and get the word out!
Honor the United States of America !
How does putting things in multiple colors and sizes and random underlining make it more “Americish”?
Dear Mr. Thatcher,
I have been a loyal user of your Always maxi pads for over 20 years and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard Core or Dri-Weave absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts.
But my favorite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F-16 in my pants.
Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my time of the month is starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body will adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to call "an inbred hillbilly with knife skills."
Isn't the human body amazing?
Wine is an essential component of a happy, healthy life. As Martin Luther noted a looong time ago, “Who loves not wine, woman and song, remains a fool his whole life long.” I think he was on to something. A glass of wine often improves your circumstances, be they happy or sad. Don’t be a fool!
The following series of pictures illustrate for you the task facing the contractor I hire for my next house. And this isn’t even the most complicated or weird thing I’m gonna request! Don’t ask or judge, please. I’ve also included a handy reference to make choosing your wine an easier chore.
