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.
They pretended to be from my bank asking for account details to 'verify' something. Classic scam—never give out personal info over unsolicited calls. Reported it to authorities.
Got a call from this number claiming to be from the IRS demanding immediate payment. Total scam, don't fall for it. Blocked them right away.
Just a stream of meaningless chatter.

Silence on the other side, man, weird.
Unsolicited call about a product I never asked for—annoying.

The overall impression of this number is negitive
Attempted to discuss a business listing with an owner or manager. Mentioned a 2-year contract. Searching the caller ID "CBPB" revealed questionable practices.
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.
