Is area code 910 a scam?
No. Area code 910 is a legitimate area code serving Fayetteville since 1993. Scammers spoof caller ID to display 910 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 910 number, and the number they display may belong to a real business in Fayetteville that has nothing to do with the call.

Who works in the Fayetteville area?
Area code 910 covers southeastern North Carolina, from Fayetteville down to Wilmington on the coast, and Fort Bragg, renamed Fort Liberty and then back again, is the economic center of gravity. The base is one of the largest military installations in the world by population, home to Army airborne and special operations forces, and its payroll, contracts, and constant rotation of soldiers and families drive Fayetteville's economy. Healthcare through Cape Fear Valley Health, defense contracting, logistics along the I-95 corridor, and the retail and services that follow a military population fill out the rest, while the Wilmington end of the code adds a state port and a long-running film production industry.
Who lives in the 910 region
Fayetteville had a 2024 population of 210,815 and a median age of 30.6, one of the youngest of any American city its size, a direct product of the base, per Data USA. Median household income was $58,407, the poverty rate 17.7 percent, and homeownership 47.4 percent, reflecting a renter-heavy population that moves on military orders. The city's largest group is Black residents at roughly 42 percent, and the veteran share of the local population is among the highest in the country.
What a 910 number signals to a caller
Callers describe business in the 910 region as courteous, punctual, and shaped by military norms even off base. Mornings start early, ranks and titles are used correctly or noticed when they are not, and follow-through counts more than polish. The churn of PCS moves means customer turnover is constant, and businesses that survive here build systems for winning the same market over and over. The region runs on Eastern Time, and a local 910 number is generally read as a sign of a business rooted in the community rather than passing through it.
