Scam Calls from Area Code 918

Area code 918, covering northeastern Oklahoma and anchored in cities including Tulsa, Bartlesville, Claremore, Sand Springs, and Chouteau, has generated 1,198 complaints across 529 distinct numbers since February 2026, with activity still ongoing as of June 2026. That volume places it 25th among the 50 Oklahoma-assigned area codes tracked in this dataset, a sibling rank that marks it as a significant source of unwanted call traffic within the state. Complaints have also been filed by recipients in Texas and Washington, indicating that callers spoofing or originating from 918 numbers are reaching well beyond Oklahoma's borders.

The single largest complaint category is impersonation — calls pretending to be government agencies, businesses, or family members — with 206 complaints. Medical and prescription solicitations follow closely at 186 complaints, making that pairing the dominant threat profile for the code. Debt-reduction pitches (credit cards, mortgages, and student loans) account for 80 complaints, and warranty or protection-plan calls add another 23. Dropped calls or silent connections total 118 complaints, a figure consistent with robocall operations testing line connectivity before launching live or prerecorded pitches — the FCC data for this code shows prerecorded calls outnumbering live-agent contacts by a ratio of two to one.

The highest-volume individual number, 918-663-1813, has drawn 36 complaints in the medical and prescriptions category, by a wide margin the most-reported single number in the code. Debt-reduction calls from 918-955-7519 account for 14 complaints. Vacation and timeshare pitches appear at 918-383-8380 with 7 complaints. Four numbers — 918-380-9617 with 9 complaints, 918-236-6860 with 8, and both 918-936-3110 and 918-723-9269 with 7 each — have accumulated substantial complaint counts with no assigned category, as has 918-205-5260 with 6 complaints.

The threat read here is one of sustained, multi-vector pressure. The near-parity between impersonation and medical solicitation complaints suggests two largely independent campaigns operating simultaneously under the same area code, while the cluster of uncategorized high-complaint numbers points to additional activity that has not yet resolved into a recognizable pattern. With prerecorded delivery dominating and complaints still arriving, 918 shows no sign of contraction.
