>> We have received another warning about the area code 809 phone scam 
>> and would like to remind everyone to not return calls to area code 
>> 809 unless you know exactly who the caller is and you are doing 
>> business with that person in the Caribbean. While the scam has been 
>> around for several years it seems to be popping up again. The callers 
>> will usually tempt you with a message such "I have an important 
>> message for you", "you have won a prize", "I have news about a family 
>> member", etc. The problem with area code 809 is that calls to certain 
>> numbers are charged at exorbitant rates and you could end up paying 
>> thousands of dollars for such calls even though you may just end up 
>> listening to a recording.
