NANPA's central-office code records list ONVOY, LLC - OH (OCN 464C) as the code holder, assigned July 30, 2019. Because 216-284 participates in thousands-block pooling, individual 1,000-number blocks may belong to other carriers than the code holder.

Caller ID showing 216-284 is not proof the call came from Independence: spoofing and porting both detach numbers from their origin. To verify a caller, hang up and dial the organization's published number, and report suspicious calls to the FTC.
