Email spams helpline


Toll free 1090 for senior citizen is looked upon an anti-terror helpline.mail is doing the rounds among the netizens in the web world is about a nation wide anti-terror toll free no 1090.The fact being that 1090 is a helpline in support of the senior citizens in crisis,callers are jamming this helpline with unintended usage thus barring the purpose it should actually serve.
The mail reads this way"very important information -we have a nation wide anti-terror toll free no 1090.This is a single number for the entire country.If you spread any terror related activities around you.please inform to this number.your identity will be kept secret.please pass this to all Indians if you are a true Indian...please save this number in your contact list"
and about an review "This is a hoax mail which is doing the rounds among netizens.And taking undue advantage of the sentiments of people against terrorism.some prankster has started it all,but the helpline which is actually means for senior citizen,is not serving Right purpose.it is difficult to trace such a mail but not impossible it being circular At rapid pace is that people who want to stone turned.i feel more public awareness is required on the same to curb hoaxes from being transmitted.
