The 939 area code is targeted by family emergency scams and vague debt collection calls. Scammers claim a relative is hurt or in trouble to extort money from you quickly.
Scammers pose as paramedics claiming a family member was in an accident, then pivot to demanding ransom or medical bills under threat.
"a man tried to obtain money from me ($1,500) from this number saying that a family member was in a car accident as if he was a paramedic. Then, the supposed paramedic pass me a familiar of an injured kid and said he had my father hostage!"
Robocalls possess partial personal details but refuse to state the call's purpose until the victim "validates" more sensitive data.
"DICEN TU INFORMACION PERO NO TE DICEN QUE ES HASTA QUE VALIDES HELLO QUIEN LE VA A DAR TU INFO. ES FRAUDE!!"
Callers impersonate the health department conducting COVID-19 follow-ups to steal personal identity and travel information.
"Claimed to be with the Puerto Rico department of health. Asked questions that should have already been known with entry covid screening. Asked personal questions about length of stay."
Automated calls play a "the line is busy" recording and hang up to verify the victim's number is active for spam lists.
"Cogí la llamada pero no hable. Una grabadora dijo 'the line is busy'. Bloquie el número."
Area code 939 covers the entire island of Puerto Rico.
Area code 939 is an overlay to area code 787 . This means that both area codes serve the same geographic region of Puerto Rico. Area code 787 was established in 1996, and area code 939 was introduced in or about September 2001. Ten-digit dialing is required for all calls within this region.
An overlay for the entire territory of Puerto Rico, 939 supplements 787 across the same cities and regions. Banco Popular fraud departments, hotel reservation staff, and pharma industry recruiters continue to be the dominant caller sources under this code.
