Is 782 a new area code?
It went into service in 2014 as an overlay, meaning it was added to supply new numbers in the same area rather than replacing the existing codes.

The area code tells you nothing about that. Spam callers routinely fake the number they display, often choosing a local-looking one because it gets answered more often. Look up the full number instead.
