About 740 Area Code:
The 740 area code is an essential part of Ohio’s telecommunications network, serving central and southeastern regions of the state. Major cities within this area code include Newark, Lancaster, and Athens. Newark, the county seat of Licking County, is home to the renowned Longaberger Basket Company. It markets itself as small-town America with big city benefits, which means, among other things, a low cost of living, and unique cultural features like the 30-foot, 4K projection SciDome planetarium. There are also the more traditional museums honoring the city’s history of glass making, and its military past. Median home values are under $130,000 and median rents under $800. Lancaster, another prominent city within the 740 boundaries, has been nicknamed The Glass City because of the major role that glassware manufacturer Anchor Hocking has played in the local economy since 1905.
Today, it markets itself as a great place to do business, and offers lower cost of business than many municipalities in the region. Athens is located along the Hocking River within Appalachian Ohio about 65 miles southeast of Columbus. This former coal town is a university town through and through. According to the 2020 census, it has a population size of around 24,000. The student population of the resident Ohio University is around 21,000. The university is the largest employer in the county. Other than that, manufacturing and tech jobs come from the likes of Quidel Corporation (formerly Diagnostic Hybrids, Stewart-MacDonald, Sunpower, Mitchell Electronics, Fastenall, and Gorman-Redlich.

They wanted me to participate in a consumer spending survey. They had my full name. I regret answering the call and confirming my name.
Didn't answer it
So I finally got through Kayla and it looks like she's a legitimate marketer for Travis Steven's Roofing out of New Albany, OH

She, a woman with a strong, possibly Indian accent, said she was with Social Security. I told her she was fake, and that I was calling the police. She immediately hung up.
Scammer....most likely identity theft
If this number has been searched over 200 times, why are there ZERO comments?????
