I answered a call from a 424 number because I thought it was someone from Los Angeles, but it turned out suspicious. Are scammers spoofing California area codes more often these days?

Yes, scammers spoof local area codes constantly. It's called "neighbor spoofing"—they use software to mirror codes like 424 or 310 so people from Los Angeles are more likely to pick up. They can fake these numbers easily from anywhere in the world. If you're getting suspicious calls, you can check this link to look up the digits and see if others have reported it. Always let unknown 424 numbers go to voicemail; if it's important or an actual local business, they'll leave a message.
