Check unknown phone numbers in Canada with recent community reports. See caller patterns across Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver and more, and share your experience.
Unsure about a Canadian number? Here you’ll find fresh community reports and practical tips for what to watch out for. Canada sees both legitimate callbacks from banks, couriers and agencies, as well as phishing related to taxes, customs or supposed delivery notices. In metropolitan areas like Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver, Calgary or Ottawa, mixed patterns are common. Important: area codes (e.g., 416, 905, 514, 604, 780) are not reliable location proof due to portability and VoIP — judge content and context, not just the digits.
Best practice: call back via the official number listed on the provider’s website/app, check in‑app notices and never share one‑time codes by phone. If you encounter recurring issues, document them and use your device/carrier blocking tools (Rogers, Bell, Telus). Short, factual notes here help others decide faster.
This was a scam call asking for personal info under the guise of a charity. Stay vigilant.
The caller tried to pressure me into a quick decision – typical scam behavior.
Sounds like a scam, too many pressure tactics.
This number tried to convince me to upgrade my service for a discount—classic scam. I hung up.
Another scam call trying to get my credit card details. I declined and reported it.
Got a pushy sales pitch that turned out to be a scam. I hung up immediately.

Unsolicited scam call, just hang up.
Scam attempt, they asked for money upfront.
The person on the line tried to sell me a fake investment scheme. Stay cautious.
Just a random call with no clear purpose; it felt like a nuisance but not malicious.

Received a call that clearly was trying to scam me, so I blocked the number.
They called about a community event that never existed. Nothing harmful, just weird.
A quick call with no real purpose – just another unknown number on my list.
Received an advertising pitch that was pretty intrusive.
Aggressive advertising call selling a product I have no interest in. Very irritating.
Promotional call for a product I never heard of—pretty pushy advertising.
The call was vague and seemed like a generic outreach with no real purpose. Probably not worth returning.
No message left, and the phone marked it as potential fraud
Call back via the official number from the company’s website/app. Don’t share 2FA codes. Check in‑app notices and verify ticket IDs over a separate channel.
Not reliably. Portability and VoIP mean area codes (e.g., 416, 514, 604, 905, 780) are not a trustworthy location signal. Evaluate content, timing and patterns.
Delivery notices, bank callbacks, verification codes, but also tax/customs phishing, fake support hotlines and aggressive sales calls.
Block repeats on your device, use carrier filters, don’t respond to pressure, and add a short, factual experience here to help others.
