Area Code Report
Scam Calls from Area Code 812
Area code 812, assigned to southern Indiana and active across complaints filed from Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois, has generated 780 complaints tied to 345 distinct numbers since February 2026, with activity recorded as recently as June 2026. The code sits at rank 233 out of 358 area codes overall, but climbs to rank 36 out of 51 among its geographic peer group, placing it in the upper third of similar codes by complaint volume. That regional pressure is concentrated across cities including Bloomington, Evansville, Madison, and Louisville on both the Indiana and Kentucky sides of the state line.
Impersonation calls lead the complaint picture with 107 reports filed under calls pretending to be government, businesses, or family and friends. Medical and prescription solicitations follow at 70 complaints, and 67 involve dropped calls or calls with no message left, a pattern consistent with dialer sweeps probing for active lines. Debt-reduction pitches targeting credit cards, mortgages, and student loans account for 40 complaints, with lottery and sweepstakes come-ons adding another 34.
The single most-complained-about number, 812-815-2677, drew 20 complaints with no category on file. The next highest, 812-924-5831, logged 15 complaints under warranties and protection plans, and 812-579-4279 produced 10 complaints in the impersonation category. Four additional numbers, 812-733-3681, 812-389-8341, 812-297-7574, and 812-394-0175, each registered between 7 and 9 complaints without a recorded category, suggesting either rapid rotation of calling scripts or complaint volumes that have not yet reached categorization thresholds.
With 18 live-agent calls flagged in FCC records and complaint activity still ongoing into mid-2026, the 812 code presents an active, multi-vector threat weighted toward impersonation and medical solicitation, with a secondary layer of uncategorized numbers that may represent emerging campaigns not yet fully mapped by complaint data.
