I received the following e-mail at work today is this a hoax or can it be done??

Dear all

I got this message from West Midlands Police.
It may be of help to you.


If you receive a call on your mobile from someone saying:
that they are doing a check on your mobile phone and
that you must press #90 or 09#,
then please end the call immediately.

This is a fraud company who are trying to access your Sim card to make
calls,
which will then be charged to your number. This has been verified by
the police.

Everything about this is a scam! Noone is gonna call you, and nothing can happen if you do this! Don't be afraid!

But it is possible to make fake telecards to refill your phone with units, so then again who know... But it sounds a bit far out, and if someone called you up and said so would you do it??
