在加拿大
刚收到一个朋友的邮件，觉得有点用，转贴给大家参考。 WARNING: COSTLY NEW AREA CODE: READ AND SHARE 809 Area CodeWe 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.I have something important to tell you.'Then she repeated a phone number beginning with809.We did not respond. Then this week, we received the following e-mail:Do Not DIAL AREA CODE 809, 284,AND 876 from the U.S. or Canada .THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION PROVIDED TO US BY AT&T. DON'T EVERDIAL AREA CODE809This one is being distributed all over the US ... This is prettyscary, 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 afamily member who has been ill or to tell you someone has beenarrested, died, or to let you know you have won a wonderful prize,etc..In each case, you are told to call the809number right away.Since there are so many new area codes these days,people unknowingly return these calls.If you call from the U.S. or Canada ,you will apparently be charged a minimum of$2425 per-minute.And you'll also get a long recorded message.The point is, they will try to keepyou 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 distancecarrier will not want to get involved and will most likely tell youthat they are simply providing the billing for the foreign company.You'll end up dealing with a foreigncompany that argues they have done nothing wrong.Please forward this entire message to your friends, family andcolleagues to help them become aware of this scam.AT&T VERIFIES IT'S TRUE : http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=6045<http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=6045>SNOPES VERIFIES IT'S TRUE:<http://www.snopes.com/fraud/telephone/809..asp>http://search.atomz.com/search/?sp-q=area+code+809&x=26&y=15&sp-a=00062d45-sp00000000&sp-advanced=1&sp-p=all&sp-w-control=1&sp-w=alike&sp-date-range=-1&sp-x=any&sp-c=100&sp-m=1&sp-s=0

回复: 警告：不要拨打809开始的电话http://www.fcc.gov/guides/calls-809-649-284-area-codes点击展开...非常感谢！很有用的信息。我转贴如下： Calls from 809, 649, 284 Area CodesThe Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has recently learned that an old long distance phone scam that leads consumers to incur high charges on their phone bills may now affect wireless consumers. In the past, consumers have been fooled into making expensive international calls by scam artists who leave messages on consumers’ answering machines or their email accounts. The messages urge consumers to call a number with an “809,” “284,” “876,” or some other area code to collect a prize, find out about a sick relative, or engage in sex talk.Wireless consumers are now receiving similar calls from phone numbers with three-digit area codes that appear to be domestic, but are actually associated with international pay-per-call phone numbers. While wireless companies are working to block suspicious numbers on their networks, some consumers may become victims of this scam. The Scam Works Something Like This:Your wireless phone rings once or twice and then disconnects the call. When the number appears in your wireless phone log as a missed call, it appears to be a typical domestic telephone number starting with a “649” area code; or you get an email or voicemail (on your residential wired telephone) telling you to call a phone number with an “809”, “284”, “876” or some other three-digit international area code.When you return the call, you assume you are making a domestic long distance call ? as “649,” “809,” “284,” “876” and other area codes involved in this scam, appear to be typical three-digit U.S. area codes.When you dial the three-digit area code plus the number, however, you are connected to a phone number outside the United States, often in Canada or the Caribbean, and are charged expensive international call rates, and may be charged for pay-per-call services as well. (In this case, “649” goes to the Turks and Caicos, “809” goes to the Dominican Republic, “284” goes to the British Virgin Islands, and “876” goes to Jamaica.)You don’t find out about the higher international call rates until you receive your phone bill.What You Can Do to Minimize the Risk of This Happening to You:Check any unfamiliar area codes before returning calls.Be aware that there are many 3-digit area codes (mostly in the Caribbean) that connect callers to international telephone numbers.If you do not otherwise make international calls, ask your local or wireless phone company to block outgoing international calls on your line.Filing a Complaint with the FCCIf you are billed for a call you made as a result of this scam, first try to resolve the matter with your telephone company. If you are unable to resolve it directly, you can file a complaint with the FCC. There is no charge for filing a complaint. You can file your complaint using an FCC online complaint form. You can also file your complaint with the FCC’s Consumer Center by calling 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) voice or 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-835-5322) TTY; faxing 1-866-418-0232; or writing to: Federal Communications Commission Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau Consumer Inquiries and Complaints Division 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554.The best way to provide all the information the FCC needs to process your complaint is to complete fully the online complaint form. When you open the online complaint form, you will be asked a series of questions that will take you to the particular section of the form you need to complete. If you do not use the online complaint form, your complaint, at a minimum, should indicate:your name, address, email address and phone number where you can be reached;the telephone and account numbers that are the subject of your complaint;the name and phone numbers of any companies involved with your complaint;the amount of any disputed charges, whether you paid them, whether you received a refund or adjustment to your bill, the amount of any adjustment or refund you have received, an explanation if the disputed charges are related to services in addition to residential or business telephone services; andthe details of your complaint and any additional relevant information.Filing a Complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)If you feel that you are a victim of an international phone scam, you can file a complaint with the FTC online. You can also submit a complaint by calling the FTC toll-free at 1-877-382-4357 (voice) or 1-866-653-4261 (TTY), or writing to:Federal Trade CommissionCRC - 240600 Pennsylvania Ave., NWWashington, DC 20580.For More InformationFor information about other telecommunications issues, visit the FCC’s Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau website, or contact the FCC’s Consumer Center using the information provided for filing a complaint.Print OutCalls from "809," "649," "284" Area Codes Guide (pdf)Bureaus & Offices: Consumer & Governmental Affairs
