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.
Scam warning: the caller claimed I was selected for a government grant but needed personal info first.

The call comes from a delivery carrier.
C’était vraiment n’importe quoi!! Les mini chanteurs chantaient et une vibe rare se faisait sentir. Tu repars le cœur plein, mec.
Quiet call.
Device security marks this as probably spam
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.
