Subject: [QCWA] QCWA Convention at Ham-Com Hamfest - June 11 & 12, 2010
Message-ID: <312026.41239.qm@web180308.mail.gq1.yahoo.com>

A Big Howdy?From Chapter 41, DALLAS, TX !: 

The time has almost arrived!......Ham-Com and Dallas Chapter 41 is hosting a QCWA Convention* at Ham-Com in the Dallas, Texas area on June 11 and 12, 2010. The actual location of?Ham-Com and the QCWA Convention is located just to the north of Dallas in Plano, Texas or as we like to say in Texas:" It's jus' up the road a-piece from Daluss'".
?
* - Please do not confuse this event with the QCWA national-type convention?that typically occurs?on/around October of each year.

Do we have a deal for you!.........Merely purchase a ticket for Ham-Com and it also admits you to all QCWA Convention events with the exception of the QCWA Saturday evening BBQ. (BBQ tickets can be purchased at the QCWA table at the?convention and will include a special QCWA lapel event pin.) Where else can you go to a great hamfest and a QCWA event?for a single admission? Sounds like a "two-fer" to me!

You can find out all the details by going to: www.hamcom.org. Once you are at the Ham-Com Website, please look for and click on: "QCWA Dallas convention information". This will allow you to download/printout a PDF file that gives all the specifics about the QCWA Convention portion of Ham-Com. (The Ham-Com Website will also give you lodging information in the general area of the hamfest/QCWA event which is McKinney, Plano, Richardson, and Dallas, Texas.)
?
Chapter 41 President, Larry Essary, K5XG, and several of the National QCWA Directors await your arrival in Plano, Texas.
?
Best regards,

This may be different in the US but it does work this way in Canada !

                You may want to pass this on to family or friends

                Re: 90# on your telephone.

                I dialed '0' and asked the operator to confirm if this was
correct, so please pass it on.


                I received a telephone call last evening from an
individual identifying himself as a Telus Serviceman, who
was conducting a test on the telephone-lines.


        He stated that to complete the test I should touch nine (9) and
then zero (0), followed by the pound sign (#), and then to hang
up.

        Luckily, I was suspicious, and I refused.

        Upon contacting the telephone company, I was informed that by
pushing 90#, you are giving the requesting individual full access
to your telephone line, which enables them to place long distance
calls billed to your home phone number.


        I was further informed that this scam has been originating from
many of B.C.Alta.Ont.NB. local jails and prisons.

        DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE !

        The GTE Security Department requested that I share this
information with EVERYONE I KNOW.


        After checking with Telus, they said it was true, so do not dial
90# for anyone!

        PLEASE HIT THAT FORWARD BUTTON AND PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.

Yes its a scam, but it does not and cannot affect residential 
subscribers.  According to ATT at 
http://web.archive.org/web/20020223071837/http://www.att.com/features/0398/90pound.html:


Find out about the 9-0-# phone scam


The 9-0-# scam has been around for years and is directed at businesses, 
hospitals, government agencies and other organizations that use telephone 
switching equipment called private branch exchanges (PBXs) to handle their 
calls.

This type of fraud involves a perpetrator who calls an office and cons an 
unsuspecting worker into transferring him or her to an outside line. The 
perpetrator then starts dialing calls that are charged to the owner of the 
PBX. In this latest version, the caller claims to be an AT&T service 
technician "repairing" the phone lines and convinces the recipient of the 
call to help out by transferring him to an outside line and then hanging up.

Below are some points about this scam worth remembering:

    * This scam doesn't affect residential customers; its target is 
businesses.
    * An AT&T service technician would never call customers and ask them to 
help check phone lines.
    * The scam is generating a lot of interest in the media and over the 
Internet, but our network fraud experts report no increase in the number of 
fraud cases as a result of this notoriety.
    * The best prevention against this type of fraud is for business 
managers to make their office staffs aware of it and to review what to do 
if it happens.
    * If someone receives such a call, he or she should ask the 
"technician" for a call-back number or for the name and number of the 
caller's supervisor. Then hang up.
To report this or any other phone scams AT&T business customers should call 
their account representatives. You also can call the AT&T Business Customer 
Care Center at 1-800-222-0400 or report the scam to your local law 
enforcement agency.

Fortunately, this only works on a few, and quite old, PBX systems at
businesses. Modern office systems, cell phones, and home systems don't have
this functionality. If you have any doubts, call your own number, answer,
and press 90#. If nothing happens, you're safe. You can get more information
