We actually received a call last week from the809 area code..
The woman said 'Hey, this is Karen . Sorry I missed
you--get back to us quickly. I have something important to
tell you.' Then she repeated a phone number beginning
with 809 We did not respond. Then this week, we received the
following e-mail:
Do Not DIAL AREA CODE 809, 284, AND 876
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION PROVIDED TO US BY
AT&T. DON'T EVER DIAL AREA CODE 809
This one is being distributed all over the US ... This is pretty scary,
especially given the way they try to get you to call.
Be sure you read this and pass it on.
They get you to call by telling you that it is information about a family member who has been ill or to tell you
someone has been arrested, died, or to let you know you have won a wonderful prize, etc..
In each case, you are told to call the 809 number right away. Since there are so many new area codes these
days, people unknowingly return these calls. If you call from the U.S. , you will apparently be charged
$2,425 per-minute.Or, you'll get a long recorded message. The point is, they will try to keep you on the phone as long as possible
to increase the charges. WHY IT WORKS:
The 809 area code is located in the Dominican Republic .
The charges afterward can become a real nightmare. That's because you did actually make the call.. If
you complain, both your local phone company and your long distance carrier will not want to get involved and
will most likely tell you that they are simply providing the billing for the foreign company. You'll end up dealing
with a foreign company that argues they have done nothing wrong.
Please forward this entire message to your friends, family and colleagues to help them become aware of this
scam.
So, when are our ass hole politicians like the attorney general and secretary of state and president going to go after
the fraudulent ass holes perpetuating this fraud and get the god damned ass hole dominican republic president to
explain why his police force is so lazy to stop the fraud????
