The 954 area code itself is not “unsafe.” It’s just a normal U.S. region code. However, like any area code, scammers can spoof it to make calls look local.

If the caller asks for personal details, OTPs, or money, hang up immediately. Real businesses or banks will not pressure you for sensitive information over an unsolicited call.
