{"area_code":"939","is_legitimate_code":true,"explanation":"Area code 939 is a legitimate Puerto Rico area code. The code itself is not a scam, but scammers can spoof any number — including 939 — 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":2,"total_complaints":11,"top_subjects":["Other","Energy, solar,  & utilities"],"most_complained":[{"number":"(939) 500-5893","complaints":8,"url":"https://areacode.fyi/number/9395005893"},{"number":"(939) 845-6918","complaints":3,"url":"https://areacode.fyi/number/9398456918"}],"note":"These are FTC Do Not Call complaints filed about specific numbers shown with this area code — frequently spoofed.
