WARNING!!!!

If you receive a phone call telling you that someone you love has been injured in some kind of accident and they give you a number to call to get more information, it may be a hoax! It was brought to my attention (via family members) that several people have received such calls and been directed to call a number beginning with the area codes 809 (Dominican Republic), 284 (British Virgin Islands), or 876 (Jamaica). When they called the number, they found that it was just a hoax and they were charged a large sum of money for the call. If you receive such a call, you are advised to check on your loved ones through other means, but do not call the number.

I do not know if this has only been aimed at senior citizens, but it was the senior citizen center that was spreading the warning. Many people have loved ones on the road and displaced at the moment due to storm evacuations and it appears that someone has decided to try to cash in on the misfortunes of others. It is a horrible hoax, please spread the word so that others will not fall prey to it.
