The reason you're asked to call vanes: 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're 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 the U.S., you will apparently be charged $25 per minute. Sometimes the person who answers the phone will speak broken English and pretend not to understand you. Other times, you'll just get a long recorded message. The point is, they will try to keep you on the line as long as possible to increase the charges. Unfortunately when you get your phone bill you'll often be charged mure than $100. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: The 809 area code is located in the British (The Virgin Islands Bahamas). The "809" area code an be used as a paypcreal! number, similar to the 900" numbers in the U.S. Since 809 is not in the U.S., it is not covered by the U.S. regulations of 900" numbers, which requires that you be notified and warned of charges and rates involved when you call a paypercal! number. There is also no requirements that the company provide a time period during which you may terminate the call without being charged. Further, whereas many U.S. phones have "900" number blocking to avoid these kinds of charges 900" number blocking will not prevent calls to the 809" area code. Trying to fight the charges afterwards can become a real nightmare. That's because you did actually make the call. If you complain, both our local phone companies and your long distance carrier will not want to be involved and will mot likely toll you that they are simply providing the billing for the foreign company You'll end up dealing w ith a foreign company that argues they have done nothing wrong. PLEASE be aware of this scam and don't get caught! w ' fi Cleone Hortin had the only 200 game this week, a 202. and also high series of 527.
