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.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS PIECE OF INFORMATION TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS HAVING A
MOBILE.

haha. I hate those spam emails. My so called friends like to forward them on to Me too, where they promptly end up in the trash bin.
