Is area code 907 a scam?
No. Area code 907 is a legitimate area code serving Anchorage since 1957. Scammers spoof caller ID to display 907 numbers, which is why complaints exist against a code that is itself genuine.
Neighbour spoofing is the reason a local-looking number is not a guarantee. A caller anywhere in the world can display a 907 number, and the number they display may belong to a real business in Anchorage that has nothing to do with the call.

Who works in the Anchorage area?
Area code 907 covers all of Alaska, and Anchorage is where most of the state's business gets done. Roughly 40% of Alaskans live in the municipality, 288,976 people as of 2024 (DataUSA). The economy rests on a few heavy pillars: oil and gas headquarters and service companies working the North Slope, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, the Port of Alaska, which handles the bulk of goods entering the state, and Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, one of the world's busiest cargo hubs because of its position on great-circle routes between Asia and North America. Healthcare, Alaska Native corporations, and tourism logistics fill out the rest.
Who lives in the 907 region
Anchorage pays well and costs plenty. Median household income was $103,284 in 2024, with a median property value of $395,900 (DataUSA, 2024). The city is more diverse than outsiders expect: its Asian community, led by a large Filipino population, matches its multiracial population at about 28,000 each, and Alaska Native peoples are a significant presence in both the population and the economy through Native corporations such as those headquartered downtown (DataUSA, 2024). Tagalog and Spanish are the most commonly encountered languages after English, though neither dominates.
What a 907 number signals to a caller
A 907 number signals Alaska, full stop, since the code has covered the whole state since 1957 with no overlay. That matters here, because Alaskans are famously wary of Outside callers and vendors who do not understand the logistics. Callers describe business as informal and direct, first names from the first call, but slow to commit until trust is built. An outside caller should know that Alaska runs an hour behind Pacific Time, that shipping and travel constraints shape every deal, and that a Lower 48 number cold-calling into 907 territory starts at a disadvantage.
