Scam Calls from Area Code 351

Debt-reduction solicitations define area code 351, a Massachusetts code covering communities including West Roxbury, Hopkinton, and Groton. Of 277 total complaints logged across 126 numbers between February and June 2026, 114 fall into the debt-reduction category, covering credit cards, mortgages, and student loans. That single category accounts for more than 41 percent of all complaints, dwarfing every other type in the dataset.

The leading debt-reduction numbers are 351-214-4175 with 8 complaints, 351-204-5558 with 5, and 351-209-1160 with 4. Together those three numbers alone generated 17 complaints within that category. The calls are predominantly live-agent rather than prerecorded, with FCC mode data showing 49 live contacts against 41 prerecorded, which suggests active call centers working these lines rather than automated blast campaigns.

Forty-five complaints involve dropped calls or calls with no message, making it the second-largest bucket. The top number in the entire dataset, 351-239-1070, produced 10 complaints in that category alone, and 351-228-3932 added another 6. Dropped-call patterns at this volume typically indicate predictive dialers connecting before an agent is available, a method often paired with the debt-solicitation operation driving the code's dominant complaint type.

Impersonation calls account for 25 complaints, with 351-837-0407 drawing 7 of them. Warranty and protection-plan calls contributed 15 complaints through 351-444-0480, which received 6. Number 351-205-5696 carried 4 complaints with no recorded category.

Area code 351 ranks 37th out of 44 peer Massachusetts codes by complaint volume, so it is not a high-density code overall, but the sharp concentration in debt-reduction fraud within a five-month window, combined with live-agent delivery and active numbers still reporting as of June 2026, points to an operation that is current and expanding rather than winding down.
