Scam Calls from Area Code 319

Debt-reduction solicitations define area code 319, an eastern Iowa code covering Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Waterloo, and Marion. That single category accounts for 164 of the area code's 669 total complaints, more than double the next two categories, which each sit at 78. The leading number in the code, 319-430-4873, has drawn 26 debt-reduction complaints on its own, and 319-929-4337 adds another 7 in the same category. Together they represent a concentrated push of credit-card, mortgage, and student-loan pitches operating out of numbers that display local eastern Iowa prefixes.

Medical and prescription solicitations form a meaningful secondary layer, with 78 complaints and a clear active number in 319-324-4719, which has generated 7 complaints. Warranty and protection-plan calls add 45 more complaints, with 319-253-6371 responsible for 8 of them. Impersonation calls claiming to represent government agencies, businesses, or family members account for 25 complaints, a smaller but distinct third tier.

Two numbers, 319-408-5808 and 319-302-0670, have accumulated 15 and 14 complaints respectively without falling into any of the named categories. Their combined 29 complaints make them among the more active numbers in the code despite the absence of a complaint type on record.

Prerecorded delivery dominates the technical picture, with 149 FCC-logged prerecorded contacts against 64 live calls and 24 text messages, indicating that most of this traffic is automated rather than agent-driven. Activity has been continuous since February 2026 and remains ongoing as of June 2026, suggesting stable infrastructure behind the calls rather than short-burst campaigns. The concentration of debt solicitations paired with two high-volume uncategorized numbers points to an operation that is actively probing the 319 footprint and may be diversifying its pitch types under the cover of unclassified contacts.
