The "scam" referred to MIGHT work on you, ONLY if you are using a
business-type phone system that requires you to dial "9" to get an outside
line.  Otherwise, you are pretty much safe.  More info at:

Nearly all such email messages are hoaxes.  Verify any such message with your
ISP, your antivirus program vendor, or a site such as
<http://www.urbanlegends.com/ > before even thinking of forwarding them.
Then, just don't.  ESPECIALLY to a mailing list!
