I've just received an e-mail informing me of a phone scam, but I'm not convinced! I've checked the web sites of Orange, Nokia, and Motorola and there is no information about it, I've also done a search on 'tinternet, and only come up with one match, which was exactly the same warning.

 

"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. There are over 3 Million

mobile

phones being infected by this virus in all around the world now. You can

also check this news in the CNN web site.

 

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

it's a hoax:
