809 area code로 전화하지 마세요.
아래 보시는대로 전화를 809, 284, 876 area code로 전화하면 분당 2425불 charge 가 된답니다.
I am forwarding an e-mail that I received today.
Area Code 809
We 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 with 809. We didn't respond..
Then this week, we received the following e-mail:
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 CODE809
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.

이곳 시골에도 Haiti 어떠구 저떠구 하면서 이상한 단체들이 드리밀면서 돈을 내놓으라고 하던데.., 요즘 처럼 힘든 때 일수록 더욱 정신을 차리면서 살아야 될것 같읍니다. 이곳은 날씨가 별로 주말분위기는 안닌것 같읍니다만, 미주에게 계신 인하인 모든 분들이 안식과 즐거움이 있는 주말이 되시길 바랍니다.

건데 이런일이 본인의 동의 없이도 가능한 것입니까?<br />
화 무서운 세상이로고 어떻게 그렇게 바가지를 <br />
