Is the 913 area code safe? Spam and scam calls
913 is a legitimate geographic area code for Overland Park: it is not a scam code or a premium-rate prefix, and a call from a 913 number is most likely a genuine local caller. The risk is not the area code itself but a tactic called neighbor spoofing: scammers fake their caller ID so an unwanted call appears to come from your own area code, because people answer familiar numbers more readily.
If you get an unexpected 913 call, a few signals point to a likely scam, a pre-recorded message, urgent pressure to act now, a demand for payment by gift card or wire transfer, or anyone asking for passwords, Social Security, or account numbers. Let suspicious calls go to voicemail, never share personal information, and report fraud to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov.
The FCC consumer guide on spoofing explains your rights under the Truth in Caller ID Act. A real Overland Park business will leave a clear voicemail and will not pressure you.

Why 913 has no overlay, what the NANPA record shows
The current NANPA numbering report lists no overlay complex for 913, increasingly uncommon for a metro-area code. Every local number on the Kansas side of the Kansas City metro still begins with 913, so callers there have never needed the mandatory ten-digit dialing that overlay regions require. See how the North American Numbering Plan assigns codes.
The contrast sits right across the state line: Missouri's 816, the Kansas City, MO code, is listed in NANPA's report as part of the 816/975 overlay complex. One metro, two numbering situations: overlay on the Missouri side, a single clean code on the Kansas side. (Source: NANPA NPA report, July 2026.)
