Area code 123 is not a valid area code in North America, including the United States and Canada. The North American Numbering Plan (NANP) does not assign “123” as a legitimate area code.
If you receive a call from a number with this area code, it is likely a scam or spoofed number, where scammers manipulate caller ID information to make it appear as though the call is coming from a legitimate source.
Tips to Protect Yourself: Do not answer calls from unfamiliar or suspicious area codes. Avoid sharing personal information over the phone unless you are absolutely sure of the caller’s identity.
Report suspicious calls to your phone carrier or relevant authorities, such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the U.S.
Always exercise caution when dealing with unknown numbers.
