    We have been advised by Vodafone to alert users to a scam that has been brought to their attention:
    >
    > 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 #90or #09 they can access your 'SIM' card and make calls at your expense.
