As Hlywud says, this is one of those scams that never die. See http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/HBScams.shtml#809

Amazing how many people get taken in by these hoaxes, immediately emailing the warning to everyone in their address book and posting it on every message board. Sort of like Chicken Little, the character in a story read to me when I was a young child, who ran through the streets calling the "sky is falling" after an acorn or leaf fell on his head while he was sleeping under a tree.

There are a number of ways that people can check on these "warnings" before passing them on to others. Google is one good way. Do a search for 809 and you will see a list of places that offer info on this hoax. One of these sites is HoaxBusters http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/HoaxBustersHome.html Other good sites are TruthorFiction http://www.truthorfiction.com/ Another is Urban Legends http://www.snopes.com/
