Important Notice
DO NOT DIAL AREA CODES 809,284 & 876
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 Fortunately we didn't respond. And then this week, we received the following e-mail:
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION PROVIDED TO US BY AT&T. DON'T EVER DIAL AREA CODE 809
This scam is being used & distributed all over the US. This is pretty scary, especially given the way they try to get you to call.
HOW IT WORKS
They trick you to return their call by telling you that it is information about a family member who has been ill 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.
THE $$$ CONSEQUENCES
If you return the call from the U.S. you will be charged $2425 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.
The 809 area code is located in the Dominican Republic. The charges 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.
