Re: "Phone scam" -- NOT a risk at Yale

[Daniel Updegrove <daniel.updegrove@YALE.EDU>]

Library colleagues,

The "phone scam" described in several previous messages would *not* work
against Yale phone lines due to the configuration of our PBX (Private
Branch Exchange swithces). Please don't forward this warning to others at
Yale.

Thanks,
Dan Updegrove
