The 465 territory is covered by an overlay of 5 area codes: 347, 465, 718, 917, 929. All of them serve the same geographic area, and the original code is 718.

Is 465 a scam or spam risk?
465 is a legitimate geographic area code, not a premium or toll line, so a call from it costs you nothing extra. That said, scammers frequently spoof real local area codes to look familiar on caller ID. A genuine 465 number on your screen is no guarantee the caller is in New York City, NY or trustworthy.
