How to identify scam calls from area code 473 (Grenada scam)?
Area code 473 is a legitimate North American Numbering Plan (NANP) area code assigned to the island nation of Grenada in the Caribbean. However, it is infamous for the 'One-Ring Scam' (or Wangiri scam). Scammers call from a 473 number and let it ring once before hanging up, hoping victims will call back.

What is an area code overlay?
An overlay occurs when a new area code is assigned to the exact same geographic region as an existing area code (e.g., 332 overlaying 212 in New York City). According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), overlays require 10-digit mandatory dialing for all local calls.

How can I identify scam or high-risk area codes?
Certain international area codes (like 876 in Jamaica or 473 in Grenada) look similar to domestic NANP numbers but can incur massive international toll charges in "One Ring Scams". The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) advises consumers never to return calls from unfamiliar numbers starting with high-risk offshore prefixes.
