Scam Calls from Area Code 310

Dropped calls and silent hang-ups define area code 310's complaint profile more than any other behavior. Of the 2,040 total complaints logged across 827 numbers active between February and June 2026, 494 fall into the dropped-call-or-no-message category, nearly double the next largest bucket. Two numbers drive a notable share of that pattern: 310-589-3622 with 17 complaints and 310-275-5400 with 14, both classified under dropped or silent calls. This style of contact, where the line goes dead or no message plays, is consistent with autodialers probing for live answers before routing to an agent.

Impersonation calls are the second-largest concern, with 212 complaints logged against numbers claiming to be government agencies, businesses, or personal contacts. Debt-reduction pitches follow at 132 complaints, targeting credit cards, mortgages, and student loans. Home improvement and cleaning solicitations account for 70 complaints, with 310-425-7429 generating 17 of those on its own, making it one of the more concentrated single-number offenders in that category.

The busiest number in the code by a wide margin is 310-667-7541, which has accumulated 57 complaints with no dominant category attached. Two other high-volume numbers share a similar profile: 310-846-1566 at 22 complaints and 310-872-1291 at 19. A fourth, 310-667-7534, has 17 complaints and is likewise uncategorized, and its near-identical prefix to 310-667-7541 suggests both may originate from the same number block or operation.

Geographically, complaints tie most directly to Culver City, Los Angeles, Redondo Beach, Anaheim, and Manhattan Beach, though reports also surface from Ohio and Arizona, indicating the 310 spoofing footprint extends well beyond Southern California. At rank 59 out of 358 area codes overall and rank 5 among its 44 peer codes, the volume here is elevated but not extreme. The concentration of high-complaint numbers without clear category assignments, combined with a cluster of calls that drop before delivering any message, points to an operation that is still actively testing and refining its targeting, rather than one winding down.
