310 is the area code for west Los Angeles and the coast, including Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Culver City and Malibu, with 424 as an overlay.
Westside Los Angeles
310 was created in 1991 when it was divided from 213. 424 was added as an overlay in 2006, so ten digits are needed for local calls. The area is on Pacific time.
The code carries a strong association with entertainment and money, and some callers pose as agents, producers or investors. If someone you do not know pushes an exclusive offer, check before you reply.
Is 310 a scam area code?
No. 310 is a perfectly ordinary area code for the west side of Los Angeles and its coast. The code has a glamorous reputation, which makes it attractive for spoofing.
What gets reported
Callers in the 310 area report fake talent agents, investment opportunities and real estate offers. A legitimate agent or manager does not ask for money before they work for you, and an investment that guarantees high returns is a classic warning sign.
Because of the large business community in places such as Santa Monica and El Segundo, many calls from 310 numbers are genuine business calls, so do not assume the worst, just check.
Dialing
The 424 overlay means all local calls need ten digits.
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 310 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.
