The 940 area code is frequently used for fake legal threats and Social Security impersonation. Callers try to intimidate you with jail time to steal your personal information or money.
"They were very rude and threatened me saying they were calling from Denton for the State and This was an investigation. Told me I didn't know who I was dealing with and if I didn't comply they would send out a unit to my location. I told them go ahead because they had the wrong person."
"A woman with a HEAVY, middle eastern accent, very bad English left a vm to call me immediately about my social security number being 'suspended' for 'bad' 'criminal activity' and to call to fix it with her at her direct line..."
"I applied for an online loan, I got a text from this number (940)-252-4090 saying they were Justin Green and I had been approved for an $8,000 loan when I only applied for a $1,500 loan... This man had every detail about me... and then was assisting I set. Up an online banking account so he could deposit my money."
"This number and the other number-(940-304-8484 keeps constantly showing up on my phone!! Why isn't nothing being done about it?!! I even spoke to them telling them that I don't HAVE a car, and they're STILL bugging me!"

Area code 940 covers a large portion of northern Texas, including the areas around Wichita Falls and Denton.
Prior to October 2021, area code 940 had telephone numbers assigned for the central office code 988 . In 2020, 988 was designated nationwide as a dialing code for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which created a conflict for exchanges that permit seven-digit dialing. This area code was therefore scheduled to transition to ten-digit dialing by October 24, 2021.
No, 940 is an authentic Texas area code assigned to the region north and west of the DFW metroplex, including Denton and Wichita Falls. Shady operators spoof this prefix because Texans are far more likely to trust an incoming call bearing a familiar regional identity.
The expanding Denton region attracts heavy volumes of predatory loan fraud and fake law enforcement outreach. A scammer operating as "Justin Green" frequently pushes bogus $8000 loan approvals to trick victims into opening new bank accounts, while automated robocalls aggressively solicit donations for a deceptive National Police and Trooper Association PAC.
