About the 617-517 exchange
617-517 is an exchange (the first six digits of a phone number) in area code 617, which covers Massachusetts. NANPA, which runs the North American Numbering Plan, assigned it to Lumen (Level 3) for the Boston, MA rate center. Numbers from this carrier are usually VoIP / internet phone lines.
People keep their number when they move or switch carrier, so this is where the number was first assigned, not where the caller is today. Local time for 617-517 numbers is usually Eastern time. Scammers can also fake (spoof) any number, so a call that shows a 617-517 number may not come from Lumen (Level 3) at all.
