Scam Calls from Area Code 541

Area code 541 covers a wide swath of Oregon, anchoring complaints in cities that stretch from Eugene and Springfield in the central Willamette Valley south through Roseburg, Medford, and east to Bend. The code has generated 703 total complaints across 304 distinct numbers since February 2026, with activity still ongoing as of June 2026. While its overall rank of 246 out of 358 area codes is unremarkable, its position of 25th out of 39 among geographic peers makes it a mid-to-upper-tier concern within its regional class.

The single largest complaint category is dropped calls or no message, with 114 complaints — a pattern consistent with robocall probing, where automated systems dial at scale and hang up to confirm live lines. The leading individual number, 541-736-6372, accounts for 18 complaints and falls squarely in that category. Impersonation calls are the second-biggest named threat at 74 complaints, covering callers pretending to be government agencies, businesses, or personal contacts. Debt-reduction pitches targeting credit cards, mortgages, and student loans follow at 45 complaints, with 541-697-3798 carrying 9 of those alone.

Medical and prescription scams account for 33 complaints, with 541-912-2253 responsible for 11 of them — making it the most concentrated single-number source within any named category in this dataset. Warranty and protection plan solicitations round out the named categories at 20 complaints.

Four of the eight most-complained-about numbers — 541-530-0990 at 15 complaints, 541-249-7371 at 10, 541-920-1319 at 9, and 541-380-2083 at 8 — carry no identified category, collectively representing 42 complaints whose content remains opaque. A fifth, 541-215-6552, adds 6 more in the same position. That volume of unclassified activity across multiple distinct numbers, running alongside a dominant dropped-call pattern and a heavy prerecorded-message footprint of 136 FCC-recorded instances versus only 2 live-call records, suggests a robocall infrastructure operating broadly across southern and central Oregon with significant portions of its intent still unaccounted for.
