WARNING! DO NOT DAIL 809, 284, 876 area codes‏!

Read Below - Is there a way to block your phone from making calls to certain area codes???
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 $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 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.
