The same three digits mean two different things depending on where the plus sign sits.
North American area code 224. Dialled as 1-224-XXX-XXXX within the North American Numbering Plan.
International dialling code for Guinea. A number starting +224 is a call to Guinea, charged at international rates — nothing to do with area code 224.
Caller ID often drops the plus sign, which is why the two are confused. If a number reached you as 1-224 it is North American; if it reached you as +224 it is Guinea.

Yes. Caller ID was built without verification, so a caller can display almost any number. Scammers often pick a number matching the area code of the person they are calling — known as neighbour spoofing — because a local-looking call is answered more often. The US industry response, STIR/SHAKEN, lets carriers sign and verify caller ID, but coverage is still incomplete.
Almost always neighbour spoofing: the caller fabricates a number sharing your area code, and sometimes your prefix, so the call looks like it comes from someone nearby. A matching area code is not evidence that the caller is local.
Report unwanted calls to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, and add your number to the Do Not Call registry at donotcall.gov. Include the caller ID number even if you believe it was spoofed — regulators use the pattern of reports, not the individual number.
No. +224 is the international dialling code for Guinea, while 1-224 is a North American area code. The digits match by coincidence, and caller ID frequently omits the plus sign, which is why the two are mistaken for one another.
Different parts of this page carry different levels of reliability. Here is what each one rests on.
About the caller reports: these were submitted by members of the public and are not verified. They record what a caller ID displayed and what the recipient made of the call — they are not proof of who owns a number, and because caller ID can be faked, a reported number may have nothing to do with the person actually calling.
