Really check those area codes. Carribean 900 numbers use a different area code, this code be a scam to get you to call the equivalentof a 900 number, get charged $20 for
the call, all for "removing" you from the list. So not only will you have been spammed, given them a good email address to sell later, but paid money for the privilege! I predict this
might be the next big scam.
