What Area Code is Scam?

Scam phone calls often originate from area codes all around the world. Some of the most common area codes used for scam calls are:

  1. 202 - Washington, D.C.
  2. 214 - Dallas, Texas
  3. 310 - Beverly Hills, California
  4. 407 - Orlando, Florida
  5. 702 - Las Vegas, Nevada
  6. 917 - New York, New York
  7. 786 - Miami, Florida
  8. 312 - Chicago, Illinois
  9. 832 - Houston, Texas

It's important to remember that scammers can use any area code to make their calls or messages seem legitimate, so it's always a good idea to be cautious and skeptical of unsolicited calls or messages, especially if they ask for personal information or money. If you receive a call from any of these area codes and you don't know who it is, be sure to exercise caution before providing any personal information or agreeing to anything. Additionally, consider using caller identification services such as TrapCall or Hiya, which provide a way to identify unknown numbers and block unwanted calls. It's also a good idea to report suspicious phone calls to your local police department or the Federal Trade Commission. Doing so can help prevent other people from falling victim to scams.
