805 is a legitimate area code that includes Santa Barbara county in California. 803 is part of South Carolina. 809 is the Dominican Republic. These area codes do not necessarily indicate a fraudulent message.

However your primary message, that there are so many scammers out there, is very true. If you want to check to see if an account is going to be renewed automatically, login by going directly to the website, not through any link in an email. But don't automatically ignore the email if you have an actual account with that business. It may be a legitimate notification, and if you ignore it then your credit card will be charged for the renewal.
