Scam Calls from Area Code 574

Area code 574 covers northern Indiana, with complaint activity concentrated in a cluster of communities running from South Bend and Mishawaka through Goshen, Elkhart, and Howe. Between February and June 2026, 227 distinct numbers generated 492 total complaints, placing 574 at rank 282 out of 358 area codes tracked overall — but at rank 30 out of 39 among its Indiana peer codes, meaning it sits in the more active tier of the state's own footprint. Complaints also reached receivers in Ohio and Florida, indicating the numbers are not limiting themselves to local targets.

Impersonation calls lead the complaint picture with 52 reports, followed closely by 47 dropped-call or silent-call complaints — a pattern consistent with robodialers probing for live pickups before routing to a live agent. Medical and prescription solicitations account for 35 complaints, and debt-reduction pitches covering credit cards, mortgages, and student loans add another 29. Computer and technical support scams contribute 6 complaints at the lower end of the distribution.

The single most-complained-about number is 574-200-8303, which drew 11 complaints specifically for impersonation calls. Two other numbers, 574-777-9668 and 574-227-4458, each accumulated 6 complaints. 574-777-5354 reached 5 complaints, and 574-397-9792 drew 4, also in the impersonation category. Numbers 574-306-0612, 574-230-9860, and 574-330-0216 each generated 3 to 4 complaints. Combined, these eight numbers account for 43 complaints against a total of 492, meaning the bulk of the volume is distributed across the remaining 219 numbers — a wide, flat distribution that makes any single-number block an incomplete defense.

FCC records for the code are sparse at 3, but the mode data shows 22 prerecorded-call contacts against only 1 live-agent contact, confirming that automated delivery is the dominant method. The ongoing recency status as of June 2026 means the activity has not tapered. The breadth of categories — impersonation, medical solicitations, debt reduction, and tech support — across a large number of originating lines suggests an area code that has been adopted by multiple independent operations rather than a single coordinated campaign, which typically correlates with sustained and difficult-to-suppress call volume.
