Philadelphia's 215 area code is heavily targeted by health insurance phishing and utility shutoff scams. Callers try to steal your medical information or frighten you into paying a fake electric bill.
"I received a call from 215-302-4762 claiming it was my health insurance company. An automated voice knew my name and proceeded to ask me for my date of birth!"
"Claimed to be PECO calling to save me 30% on my bill because I consistently pay my bill on time. Asked me for my account number at which point I told them they should know that since they know I pay my bill on time. They hung up immediately."
"I had a (recorded) voicemail from this # - said my SS# was suspended, and to press '1' to clear the matter up. It also stated I was going to be arrested by FBI and court proceedings."
"Got a call threatening legal action and multiple pending cases... would not let me get a word in then hung up. My father passed away 3 years ago. They talk over you and are very rude."
"Got a call from this number stating they were from Amazon and there was a charge for $700 for an Iphone 11-"
"Yeah, he called me and said that 'I work with the University of Pennsylvania and I am updating our vendor records'; I said, OK but what company are YOU from? He would not answer and just kept trying to get our owner's name!"
Area code 215 covers Philadelphia and its northern suburbs.
Area code 215 is overlaid by area codes 267 and 445 . Area code 215 was established in 1947. Area code 267 was established as an overlay on July 1, 1997. Area code 445 was activated as an additional overlay code on February 3, 2018. Ten-digit dialing is required for local calls across the Delaware/Pennsylvania border.
No, 215 is a legitimate area code covering Philadelphia and the surrounding region. Fraudsters spoof it because a Philadelphia number looks local to millions of Eastern Pennsylvania residents.
PECO utility shutoff calls spoofing the power company's real number are among the most commonly reported local schemes. Health insurance and Medicare phishing calls that already know your name to "verify" identity, and business phishing calls impersonating Temple University or the University of Pennsylvania to extract owner details, are also highly active.
