A bit off topic but don't dial a phone number with an 809 area code. Just got this message from my daughter that included the following:

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION PROVIDED TO US BY AT&T. DON'T EVER
DIAL AREA CODE 809

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. 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 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.
