I checked it out with AT&T and Snopes - it's true.
809 Area Code
We actually received a call last week from the 809 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 $2425per-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.
