Scam Calls from Area Code 757

Area code 757, covering Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, and Poquoson in southeastern Virginia, has generated 1,913 complaints across 771 numbers since February 2026, with activity ongoing through June. That volume places it 72nd out of 357 area codes overall, and 10th out of 47 among its peer group — a sibling rank that marks it as a notably active code within its class.

The complaint picture is broad rather than dominated by a single scheme. Dropped calls account for 316 complaints, medical and prescription solicitations for 173, and debt-reduction pitches — targeting credit cards, mortgages, and student loans — for 160. Impersonation calls pretending to be government agencies, businesses, or family members add another 109 complaints, with warranty and protection-plan calls contributing 32 more.

The highest-volume individual number, 757-513-4307, has drawn 23 complaints for debt-reduction calls. Two other numbers — 757-229-2961 with 16 complaints and 757-214-9401 with 14 — have accumulated significant complaint tallies without falling into any of the named categories above. A third uncategorized number, 757-214-9406, has 13 complaints, suggesting a cluster of related activity around the 757-214 prefix. On the medical side, 757-780-4687 carries 15 complaints.

FCC records show 10 filings tied to this code, with live calls the dominant delivery method at 115 instances, well ahead of 43 text messages and just 2 prerecorded calls. That live-call skew is notable; it typically indicates human-staffed operations willing to engage recipients rather than blasting automated messages, which can make the pitches harder to dismiss quickly.

Though complaints are reported from Florida and California as well, the concentration of named locations in the Hampton Roads corridor — a region with a large active-duty and veteran military population — gives the medical and debt-reduction categories particular edge. Financial stress and prescription costs are known pressure points for that demographic, and the sustained presence of both categories across multiple high-complaint numbers since February suggests coordinated, ongoing operations rather than isolated bursts.
