Overlay: the same area is also served by area codes 323 and 738, so local calls need all 10 digits.

An area code does not prove where the caller is. People keep their number when they move or switch carriers, internet phone (VoIP) services hand out numbers in any area code, and scammers often fake a local area code (neighbor spoofing) to get you to pick up.

  • Forward spam texts to 7726 (SPAM) for free and report scams to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov. Internet-based fraud can also be reported to the FBI at ic3.gov.
