Phone number reputation in Canada
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.
Another shady call trying to get personal info; classic scam.
Received a scam call that tried to impersonate a tech support agent.
The caller claimed to be from a fraud department, but it was obviously a scam.
Just a random outreach, didn't seem relevant to me at all.
Is this a water system for digital storytelling?
Calls keep coming in, but no voicemail was left.
Probably spam, man, just saying.
Two consecutive calls came from this number, and I ignored them since I don’t know anyone in Toronto, just saying.
Another typical scam, promised a prize that doesn't exist.
Scam caller tried to get my credit card info—won't fall for it.
The callers have been relentless, harassing me on and off for eight years, sometimes three times daily. However, the AUTOREDIAL app by lithiumS works wonders: hide your number, input the offending number, set a 5‑minute call length, a 1‑minute pause, and repeat up to 9,999 times. Leave the phone in a drawer for a few hours and let the app handle it.

FAQ — Canada
How do I verify legitimate calls in Canada?
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.
Do area codes prove location?
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.
What patterns are common?
Delivery notices, bank callbacks, verification codes, but also tax/customs phishing, fake support hotlines and aggressive sales calls.
How can I protect myself?
Block repeats on your device, use carrier filters, don’t respond to pressure, and add a short, factual experience here to help others.
