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 phone scam trying to steal my personal details; block this number.
Probably a scam call, no message left. Marked as potentially fraudulent.
Survey call felt scripted and intrusive, not worth my time.
Got a recorded robocall claiming a Government of Canada survey from Quebec, yet the number originates in Vancouver, BC, which doesn't add up. They asked if you have a landline and prompted you to press 1 or 2 for Yes or No. I hung up without pressing anything, suspecting a scam.
Scam attempt claiming I owed money to a fake agency.
Another scam call trying to get my personal info—stay away from this line.
The call was odd, not clearly scam or ad, just a random outreach. Hard to categorize.

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.

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.
