Is a 780 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 a 780 number can be calling from anywhere.
Robocallers exploit that with "neighbor spoofing": showing a 780 number to people in Alberta because a local-looking call is more likely to be answered. If a 780 call claims to be your bank, the IRS or the CRA or a delivery company, hang up and call the official number yourself.
About area code 780
780 entered service on May 18, 1999.
It is part of the 368/403/568/587/780/825 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, 587 and 825 were carved out of or added to 780.
