704 is the area code for Charlotte, North Carolina. 980 is an overlay.
Charlotte
704 serves Charlotte and surrounding Mecklenburg County communities and parts of the Piedmont region. 980 shares the territory, so ten digits are required. The area is on Eastern time.
Charlotte is one of the biggest banking centers in the country, so scammers like to impersonate banks. Your bank will not ask for a one-time passcode over the phone.
Charlotte is the headquarters of Bank of America and Truist, and also the home of the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Financial services make up a large share of the city's business calling.
Banks and utilities in Charlotte
Charlotte is one of the largest banking centers in the country and the home of Duke Energy. Both are impersonated in phone scams, with callers claiming your account is frozen or your power will be cut. Duke Energy warns customers that it does not demand immediate payment by gift card.
The NASCAR Hall of Fame and several race weekends bring visitors who may meet ticket and lodging scams. Buy only from official sellers.
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 704 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.
