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: <http://www.urbanlegends.com/ulz/x90pound.html>

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!
