Scam Calls from Area Code 662

Area code 662 covers northern and central Mississippi, with complaint clusters traced to Corinth, Louisville, Greenwood, Columbus, and Biloxi. The code has generated 782 total complaints across 322 distinct numbers since February 2026, and activity remains ongoing as of June 2026. Within the 43 Mississippi-prefix codes tracked, 662 ranks 26th by volume — a middle position that nonetheless reflects a steady, multi-front call operation across a largely rural geography.

The single most striking feature of this code is the concentration of complaints in one number. 662-255-3743 has drawn 117 complaints on its own, nearly 15 percent of the code's entire complaint load, without a filed category to define it. That kind of volume from a single line, unaccompanied by a clear subject classification, points to a high-frequency dialing campaign that recipients struggled to characterize. Three other numbers — 662-232-8073 with 8 complaints, 662-221-9748 with 6, and 662-200-5811 with 5 — share the same pattern.

The categorized complaints tell a layered story. Impersonation calls — those pretending to be government agencies, businesses, or personal contacts — lead with 84 complaints, closely followed by 80 dropped-call or silent-call complaints spread across numbers including 662-245-2151, 662-205-2004, 662-752-1191, and 662-775-1754. Medical and prescription solicitations account for 53 complaints, and debt-reduction pitches targeting credit cards, mortgages, or student loans add another 45. Lotteries and sweepstakes round out the filed categories at 7 complaints.

FCC records for this code are sparse — only 2 on file — but the mode data within those records shows 84 live-caller contacts against 9 prerecorded ones, suggesting that the dominant delivery method here is human agents rather than robocall drops. That ratio aligns with the impersonation category leading the complaint count; live voices are more effective for social-engineering scripts that rely on real-time interaction.

The threat profile for 662 is diffuse but persistent. The gap between 322 active numbers and 782 complaints means most lines are generating low individual tallies while 662-255-3743 operates at a scale more than ten times its nearest peer. The mix of impersonation, medical solicitation, and debt-reduction pitches, reaching complainants as far as Texas and Florida, indicates that callers are not limiting their targeting to Mississippi residents despite the local numbering. The combination of a dominant high-volume line, multiple silent-call numbers, and cross-state reach suggests an operation that is actively cycling numbers to stay ahead of individual complaint thresholds.
