649 and one-ring scams
This is not a US area code. It belongs to another country inside the North American Numbering Plan, so it dials like a domestic number but is billed as an international call. The FCC warns about "one-ring" scams that use codes like this: the phone rings once so you call back, and you pay international and premium charges. If you do not know anyone there, do not call back.
