Don’t dial #09 or #90 if someone asks you to.
Truth: Chill fellas, first of all, this is not related to our bestie – Mobile, secondly this is not news but part of few decades old chain emails.
The only people who can be conned are the one who use PBX/EPBX in office, not even residential land lines.
If someone calls you in office line with PBX/EPBX and you dial #09 or #90 upon asking, all their calls will be billed to you.
