Scam Calls from Area Code 910

Area code 910, assigned to southeastern North Carolina and anchored in cities like Wilmington and Fayetteville, has generated 1,306 complaints across 564 numbers since February 2026, with activity still ongoing as of June 2026. Among the 50 geographic area codes tracked at the same tier, 910 ranks 23rd in complaint volume, placing it in the upper half of its peer group despite having no single dominant metro driving the numbers.

The largest complaint category by count is dropped calls or no message, with 225 complaints, a pattern consistent with autodialers probing for live recipients. Three of the top four numbers by volume fall into this bucket: 910-376-0033 with 15 complaints, 910-838-5915 with 11, and 910-688-5271 with 11. The leading number overall, 910-208-9700, drew 16 complaints with no assigned category, as did 910-785-3214 at 9 complaints, 910-294-3548 at 8, and 910-372-7784 at 7.

Medical and prescription scams account for 120 complaints, nearly matching the 119 logged under impersonation of government agencies, businesses, or family members. Together those two categories represent roughly a fifth of total volume and point to callers targeting personal vulnerability on two fronts simultaneously. Debt-reduction pitches covering credit cards, mortgages, and student loans add another 94 complaints, while vacation and timeshare solicitations contribute 18.

Reported locations extend well beyond North Carolina's 910 footprint. Complaints trace to Supply and Wilmington in North Carolina, Fayetteville in the same state, Little River in South Carolina, and Albuquerque, New Mexico, suggesting number spoofing or call-center operations with no fixed geographic relationship to the 910 prefix. FCC records show 90 percent of flagged calls used prerecorded messages, which aligns with the high dropped-call count and indicates automated infrastructure rather than live agent campaigns.

The combination of sustained autodial probing, active medical and impersonation categories, and a complaint record still accumulating through mid-2026 points to an operation that has not wound down. With 564 distinct numbers already in the complaint record, the rotation depth suggests deliberate number cycling to stay ahead of blocking, and the spread of reported locations to New Mexico and South Carolina indicates the 910 prefix is being used as cover for a footprint that extends well outside its native geography.
