Just some information that has been passed to me by a friend. This Information has been distributed by Hampshire 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 withwout pressing any numbers. There is fraud company using a device that once you press #90 or #09 they can access your "SIM" card and make calls at your expense.

Virus
All mobile users pay attention if you receive a phone call and your mobile phone displays (XALAN) on the creen, don't answer the call, END THE CALL IMMEDIATELY, if you anwser the call, your phone will be infected by a virus...

This virus will erase IMEI and IMSI information from both your phone and your SIM card, which will make your phone unable to connect with the telephone network. You will have to buy a new phone. This information has been confirmed by both Motorola and Nokia.


As I said just passing this on to people to be wary........pass it to your friends etc
Cheers
Dave
