809 Area code scam

Not every phone number that starts with 809 is part of this scam. The scam is referred to as "809 scam" because initially the scammers used numbers beginning with the area code - 809. According to Wikipedia.org, the area code belongs to the Dominican Republic.

809 scam is not a new scam. The scam begins with the victim receiving a message to call a certain number. The scammer may send the message through phone, pager, e-mail, advertisement or in any other way. The reason you are asked to call the number may vary, but it will typically be something quite interesting, important or urgent - for example to avoid some bad occurrence, claim a prize, new business opportunity, etc. When the victim calls a 809 number, the scammers will try to keep the caller on the phone as long as possible. The caller will not be informed that he/she is paying high rates for the call or that it is an international call.
