This is true.  Actually, area code 809 is Santa Domingo, and yes, it is
extremely costly should you take that call.

>> Hi everyone! I was given this information from a Veteran friend of mine
>> from
>> the Miami area. I just thought I would pass it along for any of you that
>> are
>> not familiar with this scam! Your friend in the cause, 809 Area Code
>>      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 809We did not 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 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 injured 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 809area 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.
