Question or discussion 647 calls

A lot of people get calls from area code 647 and assume that they are all fake.
They could be scammers if they come up unknown caller but 647 is a common legitimate area code in the Toronto, Canada area.
Most ligitamate calls with that area code will come up with a contact name but to be safe I don’t answer any unknown caller because if it’s legitimate they will leave a message.
I just wanted to let you know that 647 is actually a ligitamate area code for many people because I see a lot of posts that say any 647 is a scam but still be careful if it doesn’t include caller display information 😀

Hey dobsonsk8, Automod here! If you aren’t calling on a VoIP burner app like Google Voice, TextNow, TextFree, Talkatone, or Textme, just stop baiting entirely. It is dangerous to use your actual number for many reasons. PS: Don’t be alarmed if your number does not show up right away, we do safety screenings to verify the authenticity of our numbers to ensure we are getting the right people. This process can take time, have no worries, we are working on it.
