Pager Scam

I hope you all will please forgive me for sending something over the tuning
list that is clearly not tuning-related. This however strikes me as a very
disgusting scam operation that I think needs to be publicized through very
channel possible.

Folks,
I received a page on my wife's pager and returned the call. After
listening for a couple of seconds to the recorded message, I
immediately hung up. I called my wife to see if she was playing a joke
and discovered the following: There is a pager scam going on right
now. Someone is sending pages to get folks to dial a # that costs $25
just to dial. There is no warning so we had better get the news out to
everyone ASAP. The number is 809-404-5468. Don't call it!
