Here's how this works. The 809 area code is similar in concept to 900 numbers. You get charged either per call or by minute. The problem is that 809 area code is in a foreign country (the Dominican Republic in Caribbean) and thus is not covered by United States law.

In United States, all 900 numbers must state in their advertisements and at start of call cost of call. You also have a small period of time (usually first minute) to hang up without being charged.

The 809 area code has no such restrictions. And since you made call voluntarily, it's very difficult to get phone company to reverse charges. In fact, in many cases you will find yourself arguing with a foreign phone company which argues that you did make call and they did nothing wrong and thus you need to pay.

The way to fight this scam is to simply refuse to call any unknown phone numbers in 809 area code. In company that I work in my day job, we have completely blocked ALL calls to 809 area code. We had to do this after getting nailed for many thousands of dollars of fraudulent calls.

It is also important to understand that 900 number blocking does not apply to 809 area code. You have to depend upon your own knowledge of scam and simply resist temptation to call number.
