Calls from 604: what to know
Scammers can spoof any area code, so a local number does not prove that the caller is local. The Canada Revenue Agency, your bank and the police never ask for payment in gift cards, bitcoin or by e-transfer over the phone.
Got a call from 604?
Do not share verification codes, banking details or your SIN. If the caller claims to be from your bank or the CRA, hang up and call the number on your card or on the official website.
Search the full number here, read what others reported, and report fraud to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (1-888-495-8501). You can also register your number on the National Do Not Call List (lnnte-dncl.gc.ca) to reduce telemarketing.
Does the area code show where the caller is?
Not reliably. Scammers and call centers use spoofing to display a local area code because people are more likely to answer. People also keep their number when they move, so a 604 number can belong to someone anywhere.
That is why the full number matters more than the code. If someone has already reported it, you will see it below.
