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.
Advertising call about a local service—pretty straightforward, though a bit repetitive.
Someone pretended to be from tech support and asked for my login details—pure scam.
Incoming call with no audio
Very suspicious call, they tried to pressure me into giving financial details.
Son absent lors de l'appel
A call arrived silently.
Scam attempt where they tried to install software remotely.
Someone pretended to be Uber, collected your Uber details, and then compromised your account.
When you receive spam from this line, it’s likely being spoofed and isn’t the real scammer’s number. It’s actually Rogers’ voicemail access.
They requested my number, which Uber never does.
No voicemail is ever left
I received two calls from Glasgow – the first was an insulation scam, the second claimed I’d won a discount on my EE contract, which is odd since I’m not an EE customer.
No one answered, just an empty ring.
Got a quick call that seemed harmless, but I couldn't tell if it was legit. Might be worth a second glance.
Scam call trying to get me to transfer money to a foreign account – didn’t fall for it.
Survey call that felt scripted and rushed. Not interested in participating.

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.
