763 Area Code: Brooklyn Park, Minnesota
The 763 area code covers Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. It is a geographic North American Numbering Plan code, so a number beginning 763 was originally assigned in that area. Caller ID can be spoofed and mobile numbers move with their owner, so a 763 number does not prove the caller is there now.

Who called you from a 763 number?
Enter the full 10-digit number to see who it is listed to, where it is registered, and whether it is a mobile, landline or VoIP line.
Is a 763 number a scam?
763 is a real area code for Minnesota, so seeing it is not itself a warning sign. What matters is that scam callers deliberately spoof local-looking numbers, because people answer a familiar area code far more often than an unfamiliar one.
The reliable signals are in the call, not the code. Be suspicious of anyone who creates urgency, asks for payment in gift cards, crypto or a wire transfer, requests a code that was just texted to you, or claims to be from an agency you have not contacted. No real bank or government office does any of those things.
If a caller claims to be an organisation you deal with, hang up and call the number on your card or their official site. If you were sent a message rather than called, paste it into our free scam checker, or run the number through the spam number lookup.

Should I answer calls from area code 763?
If you have no connection to Minnesota, treat an unexpected call as you would any unknown number. Let it go to voicemail, and if it matters the caller will leave a message. Calling back confirms your line is live, which is exactly what robocallers test for.
Area code assignments come from the North American Numbering Plan Administrator's published NPA and city reports. Area codes cover wide regions and are periodically split or overlaid, and the city shown is the largest in the calling area rather than the only one. Caller ID can be spoofed, and mobile numbers keep their original area code when their owner moves, so an area code is an indication of where a number was assigned, not proof of where a caller is.
