Too Little – Too Late

How often have we heard the above phrase – probably on every subject you can name!  The social services, the refugee situation, the immigration authority, all the district hospitals and persons who constantly send you emails to corrupt your computers or try to get money out of you.

You would think they would have something better to do with their time.  Obviously those cretins with no brain power who probably sit on their backsides every day and all day claiming illegal benefits galore and who are preying on the vulnerable think they are so clever in what they do.

Not wanting to be part of the human race and do the decent thing like working for a living, one could easily call them the dregs of society.

With all the power that the Government state they have, nothing has been done to stamp out these “PIRATES OF EMAILS” which is growing out of all proportion. It would be comforting if someone could come up a programme to trace those persons and reverse the procedure.  Please read the following message:  

TAKE NOTE AND PASS ALONG  – VERY COSTLY NEW AREA CODE 0809 Area Code A friend actually received a call last week from the 0809 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 0809. We did not respond.

This week, we received the  following email: Do Not DIAL  AREA CODE 0809,0284, and 0876 from the UK .This one is being distributed all over the UK …  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 0809 number right away. Since there are so many new area codes these days, people unknowingly return these calls. If you call from the UK you will apparently be charged a minimum of £1500 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 0809  area  code is located in the Dominican Republic  ….The charges afterwards can become a real nightmare. That’s because you did actually DID 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.
