According to this one, Snopes has confirmed it. The proof if after the jump. But even if they didn’t this seems totally legit. And, actually, who says Snopes is right all the time? And they have pop up ads on their site. So they are suspect, anyway. And now – AREA CODE 809!
Costly NEW AREA CODE SCAM READ AND PASS ALONG
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 809. We 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. (Editor’s note —HORROR after the jump!)
I like it when I get emails that are all scary. Speaking in the first person as a criminal or a Wall Street fat cat or Hitler is extra horrifying. So get ready for a whole bunch of terror. Burglar style!
THIRTEEN THINGS YOUR BURGLAR WON’T TELL YOU:
(Sources: Convicted burglars in North Carolina , Oregon , California , and Kentucky ; security consultant Chris McGoey, who runs “Crimedoctor.com” and Richard T. Wright, a criminology professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, who interviewed 105 burglars for his book Burglars on the Job.)
(particularly interesting is the part about the wasp spray…)

I scored “Ambling Armadillo” which I’m going to say is not good. Post your score below. And stay away from me if you’re driving. I’m apparently dangerous.

My neighbor. She wants me.
I decided it was time to share my infinite man wisdom. Women just don’t get it and I’m going to clue them in. Also, boobs.
- Men are NOT mind readers.
- Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down. I’m going to start complaining now, though.
- Sunday sports: it’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
- Crying is blackmail.
- Ask for what you want. Let me be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just fucking say it!
- “Yes” and “No” are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
Apparently the Internet doesn’t want you to talk to anyone at a gas station. Ever. For any reason.
This is from Center, Texas, but this is very serious.

There is a syndicate of criminals presenting themselves as sales promoters who are giving free key -ring holders at gas stations or parking lots. The key rings have a tracking device chip which allows them to follow you. Please don’t accept them. They select their seemingly well-to-do potential victims and if you accept, then you will be in for their tricks. The key holders are very beautiful & hard to resist accepting but remember you may end up paying more than the key holder including the risk to your life. Please advise your friends and family members as well as it will probably spread to other parts of the country.

How many Batman tracer device keychain things do these fools think I can keep track of? Like – say I gave out 15 tracer key chains and you dumb victims went driving all around town with them. How the fuck would I know which was which? Would there be a app for that? Like Google Maps for robbers?
No – I don’t think so. I think if I wanted to follow someone I would probably…I don’t know…follow them?
Dummies. Stupid Chandrell L Polk. Stupid Internet.
