Area code 607 serves parts of the Southern Tier of New York, which borders Pennsylvania. It was created in 1954 from parts of area codes 315 and 716 .
No, 607 is a legitimate New York area code serving the Southern Tier region, including Binghamton, Ithaca, and Elmira. Spoofing a recognizable upstate New York prefix helps fraudsters avoid immediate suspicion from residents in those communities.
Southern Tier residents are targeted through the credibility a local prefix lends an unknown caller. NYSEG impersonators pressuring customers to hand over account numbers to "lock in" rates before dramatic increases are especially active here, and grandparent bail scams demanding thousands of dollars in cash sent to a New York address for a fabricated DUI arrest have hit the region hard.
