{"area_code":"347","is_legitimate_code":true,"explanation":"Area code 347 is a legitimate New York area code. The code itself is not a scam, but scammers can spoof any number — including 347 — so individual calls can still be fraudulent.","spoofing_note":"An area code only shows where a number is registered, not who is calling. Caller ID can be spoofed, so the code alone is not proof a call is local, safe, or fraudulent.","ftc_complaints":{"numbers_with_complaints":86,"total_complaints":380,"top_subjects":["Other","Dropped call or no message","Calls pretending to be government, businesses, or family and friends"],"most_complained":[{"number":"(347) 542-6682","complaints":20,"url":"https://areacode.fyi/number/3475426682"},{"number":"(347) 625-8633","complaints":12,"url":"https://areacode.fyi/number/3476258633"},{"number":"(347) 896-1533","complaints":12,"url":"https://areacode.fyi/number/3478961533"},{"number":"(347) 802-0359","complaints":12,"url":"https://areacode.fyi/number/3478020359"},{"number":"(347) 926-3150","complaints":11,"url":"https://areacode.fyi/number/3479263150"}],"note":"These are FTC Do Not Call complaints filed about specific numbers shown with this area code — frequently spoofed.
