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 tellin g 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 $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.
WHY IT WORKS:
The 809area 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=2 0scam..
