Massachusetts has 9 active area codes, and scammers use the regional differences to appear local. Callers using 617 Boston and 508 Worcester numbers frequently pose as National Grid or Eversource representatives threatening to cut off your power, and fake charity fundraisers collecting donations for causes that do not exist run across all major area codes. Never pay a sudden utility bill or donate to an unverified cause without first checking the number in the reverse phone lookup tool above.
Reports indicate a targeted wave of Chinese-language robocalls and student loan schemes hitting Massachusetts area codes. Analyze the caller's history to see if it’s part of this coordinated spam campaign.
