In Canada, to find out who is calling, one can use reverse phone number lookup services such as Canada411 and Yellowpages, which allow searching by entering a phone number to find information about the caller, including if it is a residential, business, or spam number. These services also provide details on the origin of the phone number, the company provider, and whether the number is a cell or landline. Scam calls are common, and many calls, especially those appearing as from government agencies like the CRA or Department of Justice, can be fraudulent. The Canadian government advises caution: verify phone numbers and do not provide personal information before confirming the call's legitimacy through official means. Canada also has a National Do Not Call List to reduce telemarketing calls. If the identity of a caller in Canada is unknown, using a reverse lookup tool online or consulting the National Do Not Call List is a good way to try to find out who is calling or to identify potential spam or scam calls.
