Is a 867 call a scam?
An area code tells you where a number was first assigned, not where the caller is. Mobile numbers keep their area code when people move, and internet (VoIP) numbers can be picked in any area code — so an 867 number can be calling from anywhere.
Robocallers exploit that with "neighbor spoofing": showing an 867 number to people in Northwest Territories, Yukon & Nunavut because a local-looking call is more likely to be answered. If an 867 call claims to be your bank, the IRS or the CRA or a delivery company, hang up and call the official number yourself.
