Almost all of the spam calls I receive have the same area code as my phone, which is in a different state from where I currently live.

These people who don't pick up for an unusual area code: don't they know that spammers are more likely to call from a "usual" area code? Am I mistaken?

Exactly, and not just the same area code, the spammers often have the same prefix as my phone number too... so it looks like someone "just around the corner".
