Scam Calls from Area Code 413

Area code 413, covering western Massachusetts with complaints also filed from Florida and Connecticut, has generated 552 complaints across 244 numbers since February 2026, with activity still ongoing as of June 2026. That volume places it 274th out of 357 area codes overall, but 28th out of 39 among its geographic peer group, making it a mid-tier concern by national standards yet meaningfully active within its regional class.

The single largest complaint category is debt reduction — credit cards, mortgages, and student loans — accounting for 78 complaints. Impersonation calls, covering callers posing as government agencies, businesses, or family members, follow with 45 complaints, and medical and prescription-related calls contribute 38. Energy, solar, and utilities pitches add another 26. Dropped or silent calls, at 51 complaints, indicate a substantial robocall infrastructure behind at least part of this traffic, a pattern consistent with automated dialing that abandons connections when live agents are unavailable.

The most complained-about number in the code, 413-732-7111, has drawn 44 complaints on its own — exactly one in twelve of all complaints filed against the entire code. No category is attached to that number in the complaint data, but its volume alone sets it apart as the dominant individual source of nuisance traffic in 413. The FCC mode data reinforces the live-call character of the operation: 39 of the logged contacts were live-agent calls versus only 2 prerecorded.

Medical and prescription calls show unusual concentration across multiple numbers. Three separate lines — 413-360-8950 with 9 complaints, 413-288-2327 with 7, and 413-430-0597 with 6 — are all tagged to that category, suggesting a coordinated campaign rather than isolated actors. Complaint locations are spread across western Massachusetts towns including Springfield, South Hadley, Granby, and East Otis, as well as Mashpee on Cape Cod, pointing to broad geographic reach within the state.

The threat profile for 413 is one of diversified, live-agent-heavy solicitation with a clear emphasis on financial vulnerability and health-related pitches. The clustering of medical calls across multiple numbers and the outsized complaint load on 413-732-7111 suggest organized operations rather than scattered individual callers. With activity running continuously across a five-month window and no signs of tapering, the code warrants close attention as a sustained source of consumer-targeted pressure calling.
