For John Reindl -

Here's a question for Lexmark that I've not yet had answered to my
satisfaction: Supposing they are getting about 30% of their prebate
cartridges back, what are they recycling them into? Are they being
recycled into cartridges? I've heard they're not, yet their customers
might assume that they are.

>>The following information regarding a telephone scam was forwarded to me
>>from Duke University and the (NOrth Carolina) Institute of Government.
Thought you might be
>>interested in it.

The following information regarding a telephone scam that has been occurring
in state agencies in Raleigh and at UNC Hospitals:
>>
>>"I received a telephone call from an individual identifying himself as an
>>AT&T Service Technician who was conducting a test on our telephone lines.
>>He stated that to complete the test we should touch nine (9), zero (0), the
>>pound sign (#) and then hang up. Luckily, we were suspicious and refused.
>>Upon contacting the telephone company we were informed that by pushing 90#
>>you give the requesting individual full access to your telephone line, which
>>allows them to place long distance telephone calls billed to your phone
>>number. We were further informed that this scam has been originating from
>>many of the local jails/prisons. I have also verified this information
with UCB Telecomm.

>>Please beware. This sounds like an Urban Legend - IT IS NOT!!! GTE
Security verified that this is definitely possible. DO NOT press 90# for
ANYONE. The GTE Security department requested that I share this information
with EVERYONE I KNOW!!!
>>
>>Could you PLEASE pass this on. If you have mailing lists and/or
>>newsletters from organizations you are connected with, I encourage you
>>to pass on this information."
