I got an email this morning- Thought I'll share it with you guys!
PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE - VERY IMPORTANT WARNING
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 without pressing any numbers. There is a fraud company using a device that once you press #90 or #09 they can access your "SIM" card and make calls at your expense. Forward this message to as many friends as you can, to stop it.
All mobile users pay attention if you receive a phone call and your mobile phone displays (XALAN) on the screen don't answer the call, END THE CALL IMMEDIATELY, if you answer the call, your phone will be infected by a virus. This virus will erase all 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. There are over 3 Million mobile phones being infected by this virus in all around the world now. You >can also check this news in the CNN web site. PLEASE FORWARD THIS PIECE OF I NFORMATION TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS HAVING A MOBILE
Enjoy.../

I just got that email from DFCC bank- Don't know whether it's true or not and no one i know have experienced such a thing! Just posted it here so that the others may be aware of such things and share their experience with us!
And there's a saying Prevention is better than any cure!

Thank you |

I really wish people would not forward these kinds of emails and would take the time to do a simple search on any of the hoax sites such as hoax slayer as it would become clear in a second that its a hoax
I see so much of this stuff clogging the internet
read about this one, and its variants, here
