Is a 804 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 804 number can be calling from anywhere.
Robocallers exploit that with "neighbor spoofing": showing an 804 number to people in Virginia because a local-looking call is more likely to be answered. If an 804 call claims to be your bank, the IRS or a delivery company, hang up and call the official number yourself.
About area code 804
804 entered service on June 24, 1973.
It is part of the 686/804 overlay: the codes cover the same area, and a new line there can be given a number in any of them. Two neighbours — or two phones in one household — can have different area codes. That is also why local calls need the full ten digits.
As the region grew, 434, 686 and 757 were carved out of or added to 804.
