Calls from the 339 area code often involve fake government threats and deceptive charity fundraising. Scammers pretend to be from the IRS or a fake cause to steal your money through fear or guilt.
Robocalls alleging active lawsuits and threatening arrest warrants, claiming SSNs have been entirely cancelled.
"Robot call stating IRS has a lawsuit against me, no intro to the call but this is the number the call came from."
Fraudulent solicitors using vague names collecting cash purportedly for local police and veteran charities.
"Guy pretends he is calling to collect for the police."
Grandparent scam demanding immediate $2,500 cash bail for a relative allegedly jailed after a car accident.
"Scam caller saying he was lawyer for my granddaughter and she was in an accident and in jail. Needed $2500 to get her out"
SMS phishing distributing links (e.g., netflix-1m.app.link) to intercept login data under the guise of halting fake Apple Watch charges.
"Scam text about Apple watch purchase - stating a charge will be made on my card. Number to call - SCAM"
Dead-air calls that force victims onto hold immediately upon answering to verify active targeting lists.
"The phone rang, I picked it up, and a recording started saying 'no one is available to take your call right now...' Obviously, I hung up. How odd is that. They call me to put me on hold!"
Ignores direct do-not-call requests and repeatedly robocalls regarding generic, unspecified car warranties.
"Robo call about car warranty expired. Tried to politely ask them to remove my number from their list 3 times. Always hang up without answering the request."
The 339 area code covers most of the South Shore, and the suburbs along Route 128 and surrounding towns in Massachusetts.
Area code 339 is an overlay complex code for the same service area as area code 781 . Area code 781 was created in an area code split of area code 617 on September 1, 1997. Use of 781 became mandatory February 1, 1998. Area code 339 was activated on May 2, 2001. Since then, ten-digit dialing has been mandatory.
The suburbs ringing Boston to the south and north, including Quincy, Peabody, and Waltham, are served by the 339 overlay. Raytheon Technologies engineers, biotech lab managers, and State Street financial analysts frequently call from this code.
