If you call from the US, 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.
Unfortunately, when you get your phone 먹튀, you’ll often be charged
more than $24,100.00.
WHY IT WORKS:
The 809 area code is located in the British Virgin Islands (The
Bahamas).
The 809 area code can be used as a “pay-per-call” number, similar to 900
numbers in the US. Since 809 is not in the US, it is not covered by
U.S. regulations of 900 numbers, which require that you be notified and
warned of charges and rates involved when you call a pay-per-call”
number.
There is also no requirement that the company provide a time period
during which you may terminate the call without being charged. Further,
whereas many U.S. homes that have 900 number blocking to avoid these
kinds of charges, do not work in preventing calls to the 809 area code.
We recommend that no matter how you get the message, if you are asked to
call a number with an 809 area code that you don’t recognize, just
disregard the message.
Be wary of e-mail, or calls, asking you to call an 809 area code number.
It’s important to prevent becoming a victim of this scam, since trying
to fight the charges afterwards 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.
