	809 Area Code Scam
		The "809" scam has many permutations but they all involve a message to you (either by email, phone or pager) that you immediately call or fax a number in the "809" area code or some other area code in the Caribbean.
		The "809" area code is in the Caribbean, yet most people are not aware that they are making an international call when they dial the "809" area code, since you simply dial 1-809-xxx-xxxx to make the call.
		When you return one of these "pay-per-call" 809 calls, the scamsters try to keep you on the phone as long as possible, and you may be charged very high rates for the call, reportedly up to $25 per minute.

		The 809 scam has been around for a long time and is making its way through the use of email in its attempts to part innocent victims from their money.
		The 809 scam refers to an innocent recipient receiving a phone, faxed, email or pager message that asks the recipient to telephone the sender of the message immediately using an 809 area code.
		Once the innocent victim calls the 809 area code number, the victim ends up contacting a person who tries to keep the victim on line or the victim is met with a long recorded message or even a clever recording that responds to the caller's voice.

	809 Area Code Scam
		The poor person called the "809" number only to be put on hold for a very long time - over an hour, then get hung up.
		The 809 area code is similar in concept to 900 numbers.
		The problem is that the 809 area code is in a foreign country (the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean) and thus is not covered by United States law.

	The 809 Area Code Phone Scam - U-M Virus Busters
		The reason this works is because the 809 area code is not in the United States, and therefore is not regulated by the tariff laws that apply here; unfortunately, since no international dialing code is needed, it isn't obvious that one is dialing where U.S. law does not apply.
		In fact, while the 809 are code once included the British Virgin Islands, it does no longer: their area code is now 284; thanks to Berton Smith for pointing this out to us.
		Since 809 is not in the US, it is not covered by US > regulations of 900 numbers, which require that you be notified and warned > of charges and rates involved when you call a "pay-per-call" number.

	Opinion: ineffective warnings about 809 calls
		Warnings have been issued about a scam in which people receive messages to call a phone number in area code 809, that turns out to be an international call and may therefore have relatively high rates.
		At the time, calls to area code 809 could have gone to any one of several countries in the Carribean, but the particular phone number involved was in the British Virgin Islands.
		This is one of the better notices about this scam, because it identifies numerous area codes other than 809 that this scam could apply to.

	809 area code scam
		You get a message via e-mail, voicemail or page telling you to call a phone number with an 809 (sometimes other three-digit) area code to collect a prize, find out about a relative that has a health problem, engage in sex talk, and more.
		Since the 809 code looks like a typical US area code you assume your making a domestic call.
		However, by dialing the 809 area code, you’re actually connected to a phone number outside the US.

	809 Phone Scam - Beware
		You get an e-mail, voicemail or page telling you to call a phone number with an 809, 284, or 876 (or some other three-digit) area code to collect a prize, find out about a sick relative, engage in sex talk, etc.
		You assume you are making a domestic long distance call - as "809", "284", and "876" (and other three-digit area codes involved in this scam) appear to be typical three-digit U.S. area codes.
		When you dial the "809", "284" or "876" (or other three-digit) area code plus the number, however, you're actually connected to a phone number outside the United States, often in Canada or the Caribbean, and charged international call rates.

		The 809 area code scam first surfaced five years ago and continues to victimize consumers on occasion, although much less frequently than in the past.
		The bogus e-mail claims the 809 area code sends calls to the British Virgin Islands, when in fact 809 is the country code for the Dominican Republic.
		The basic rate for a call to the Dominican Republic is less than $3 a minute although some 809 numbers terminate with pay-per-call services that permit the levy of additional fees.

	Dear Leonard: Don’t Return 809 Calls!
		Since there are so many area codes, you never suspect the 809 area code is a foreign country exchange or that it is a “pay per call” number.
		The 809 code and other codes are similar to our 900 numbers.
		Since 809 is not a U.S. area code, however, you are thus not protected.
