Are 206 Area Code Numbers Scams?
Are 206 area code numbers scams? That seems to be the question on a lot of people's minds lately. And for good reason – all sorts of suspicious activity has been going on with calls coming in from that area code.But what are the facts? Are 206 area code numbers scams, or are they just unlucky? Let's take a closer look.
The first thing to consider is where the 206 area code is located. It's in Washington state, in the Seattle area. So if you're getting calls from that area code, it's likely that the person on the other end is in Washington.
Next, consider the type of scam that's been going on. There are a few different types, but the most common seems to be the 'Windows tech support scam.' In this scam, the caller tries to convince the person they're calling that their computer is infected with a virus, and then offers to help fix the problem.
Of course, this is all a scam. The caller is just trying to get your personal information or money, and they won't actually help you with your computer.
So is the 206 area code responsible for all of these scam calls? Probably not. It's likely that there are scammers in other parts of the country using area codes from other states. But the 206 area code is a popular one for scammers, so it's worth being extra careful if you're getting calls from that area code.
If you're ever unsure about a call, don't give out any personal information. And if you think you may have been scammed, report it to the FTC.
