A would-be warning, which has been circulating since at least 2005, claims that scammers are hijacking mobile phones by tricking users into pressing a specific combination of digits. A variant of the message claims that terrorists rather than scammers are using the trick in order to make calls at your expense and frame you as a criminal.<\/p>\n

Some versions also warn you not to answer a call that displays \u201cXALAN\u201d on your phone screen because answering will infect your phone with a virus.<\/p>\n

<\/ins><\/ins><\/ins><\/p>\n

Warning is an Old Hoax<\/h2>\n

However, the warning is a hoax. None of the information provided in any versions of the message is in any way valid for mobile phone users.<\/p>\n

The first part of the hoax email claims that pressing #90 or a similar combination of digits will give a fraudster or terrorist access to your sim card and allow him or her to make calls at your expense. This is untrue and has been denied by Australian telecommunications giant, Telstra, South African communications company,\u00a0MTN<\/a>, and other service providers around the world.<\/p>\n

This part of the hoax is derived from earlier, partially factual, warnings about scammers who try to use \u201c90#\u201d to hijack fixed line phones. Such a\u00a0scam is possible on certain types of business telephone switching equipment<\/a>\u00a0that requires users to dial \u201c9\u201d to get an outside line. However, mobile phones are in no way vulnerable to this scam. It is not possible for a scammer to hijack your mobile phone by getting you to key in #90, #09, 90# or any other such combination of digits.<\/p>\n

XALAN Virus Warning Is Also Untrue<\/h2>\n

The information about the supposed \u201cXALAN\u201d virus is also untrue. Although mobile phone malware is certainly a growing threat, there is\u00a0no virus like the one described<\/a>\u00a0in the email message. There are a number of alternative versions of the \u201cwarning\u201d message, some of which list the word displayed as \u201cUNAVAILABLE\u201d or \u201cACE\u201d rather than \u201cXALAN\u201d. Again, Telstra,\u00a0MTN<\/a>, and other providers have denied the existence of such viruses.<\/p>\n

Note that \u201cterrorist\u201d version of the hoax also sometimes appears at the bottom of\u00a0another misleading message\u00a0<\/a>that\u00a0warns you not to return missed calls from numbers starting with +375 or +371.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/b>
\nDon\u2019t Press
\n#90 or #09
\non your Mobile when asked by any caller.
\nIt\u2019s a New Trick of Terrorists to access your SIM card, Make calls at your expense and frame you as a criminal.
\nForward this message to as many friends as U can, to stop it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Example:<\/b>
\nDear All,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\u2019re 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 \u201cSIM\u201d 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\u2019t 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.PLEASE FORWARD THIS PIECE OF INFORMATION TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS HAVING A MOBILE.<\/div>\n
