Is a 705 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 705 number can be calling from anywhere.
Robocallers exploit that with "neighbor spoofing": showing a 705 number to people in Ontario because a local-looking call is more likely to be answered. If a 705 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 705
705 entered service in 1957.
It is part of the 249/683/705 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, 249 and 683 were carved out of or added to 705.
