Hi Jackie,
Actually, it is not a hoax. If you actually do press the hash key, or the
codes they ask you to press, then the culprit can take all the information
from your Sim card. Just answering the call is not enough, but if you start
pressing the numbers they tell you to, then they can grab your contacts, and
even use your card for unsolicited calls, racking you up a fine phone bill.
All the best
Steve

Hi Ron
Don't be sorry, it sounded real enough to me too. It could have been.
How do you know it's a hoax out of interest Peter?
