About 672 Area Code:
Area code 672 is one of the newer area codes in Canada, serving the westernmost province of British Columbia. Vancouver, the largest city within the 672 area code, is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Coastal Mountain Range. The city is a melting pot of cultures.
The economy is equally diverse, encompassing industries such as technology, film and television production, tourism, and natural resources. The tech sector, in particular, has seen substantial growth, with Vancouver emerging as a hub for startups and established companies alike, often dubbed as "Silicon Valley North." Beyond the urban centers, the 672 area code region encompasses picturesque communities that offer a slower pace of life compared to the bustling city. Places like Whistler, a world-renowned ski resort town, and the serene Fraser Valley, known for its vineyards and agricultural heritage, offer a stark contrast to Vancouver’s urban vibrancy.

I received this text: "I j u s t made some delicious dumplings. You're welcome to come over and enjoy some good food", then did a search of where it came from. It's thousands of miles from me. This is definitely phishing.
provided no helpful information, you should make the clear before goading a subscription sign-up. The animated imagery with social media logos etc., and requiring the user to engage multiple times during the search with personal information, seems highly unnecessary and annoying.
Received an arbitrary note via text from the number. Responded that it was 'a wrong number'. Claimed to be Diana from New Jersey...no further info. Asked for information about me and stated maybe we can be friends (broken English).
Texted me saying they are in TN and they had met me before. Research shows they are in Canada. They gave name as Anna. They are trying to develop some kind of conversation.!! Beware!
This number messaged be saying "How many times do I have to say it? Your dog is destroying my garden." Do not reply to this number. It is a scam when though fraud score is 0%.
I received a text asking: “Wanna grab coffee with me?” and when I asked “Sorry, who is this?” I received “Cappuccino or Latte?Lol” and then “It’s Alyssa… didnt you save my info or what?”
Exact message was: “Hi, my name is Andy, this is my work number. I found you while looking through my contact list, so I'm sending this message to confirm we know each other.”
Starts with texting "Please take control so your dog stops coming here. Even Oh I'm sorry for getting the wrong number" then warms up to you for the Pig Butcher Scam.
Received a text with the following: "I'm Daisy. While organizing my phone contacts, I found this number that looks familiar but doesn't have a name associated with it. What's your name?"
Received text that read: "Dad, even on ordinary days, I still want to talk to you. I miss you every day." Tugging on the heart strings, but is likely spam.
Message said: “I keep getting no signal when I call. Did you shut me out?” Not a number known to me and no name associated with the text.
Wrong number scam attempting to provoke a response to a bogus accusation. The text reads, “Why does every call attempt to you come back unsuccessful? Did you block me?”
I received the following text message: Why can't my calls reach you even though my signal is fine? Did you block me? I do not know who this person.
Text out of no where saying they keep trying to call and asking if they’ve been blocked. No idea who this is and have not received said calls.
Received a random text from this number that asking to meet at golf course. I told the person they had the wrong number. They seemed nice at first then started to ask for my information like age ect. When I asked about themselves they got angry. Likely a spammer trying to get information to extort. By
