The most commonly used area codes in this scam are 284 (British Virgin Islands), 649 (Turks and Caicos), 809 (Dominican Republic) and especially 876 (Jamaica). Other faux-American codes include 441 (Bermuda), 473 (Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique), 664 (Montserrat), 758 (St. Lucia), 784 (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines) and 868 (Trinidad and Tobago).

Good numbers to know!
