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.
Have something important to tell you." Then she repeated a phone
number beginning with 809.
We didn't respond.
Then this week, we received the following e-mail:

MAJOR SCAM:
Don't respond to Emails, phone calls, or web pages which tell you to
call an "809" area Phone Number.
This is a very important issue of Scam Busters because it alerts you to
a scam that is spreading *extremely* quickly, can easily cost you $2400
or more, and is difficult to avoid unless you are aware of it.
We'd like to thank Verizon for bringing this scam to our attention.
This scam has also been identified by the National Fraud Information
Center and is costing victims a lots of money.
There are lots of different permutations of this scam.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
Auto Financing Scams

You will receive a message on your answering machine or your pager, Car dealers are often portrayed as predators just waiting for an unsuspecting customer to .....
which asks you to call a number beginning with area code 809. The reason
you're asked to call varies. It can be to receive information about a
family member who has been ill, to tell you someone has-been arrested,
died, 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 US, 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.
Unfortunately, when you get your phone bill, you'll often be charged
more than $24,100.00.
WHY IT WORKS:
The 809 area code is located in the British Virgin Islands (The
Bahamas).
The 809 area code can be used as a "pay-per-call" number, similar to 900
numbers in the US. Since 809 is not in the US, it is not covered by

number.

There is also no requirement that the company provide a time period Are you thinking of buying a car but hesitant to approach your local car dealer because you are not sure about the .....
during which you may terminate the call without being charged. Further,
whereas many U.S. homes that have 900 number blocking to avoid these
kinds of charges, do not work in preventing calls to the 809 area code.
We recommend that no matter how you get the message, if you are asked to
call a number with an 809 area code that you don't recognize, just
disregard the message.
Be wary of e-mail, or calls, asking you to call an 809 area code number.
It's important to prevent becoming a victim of this scam, since trying
to fight the charges afterwards 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.
