Numbers with the most FTC and FCC reports among those reported in the 30 days to November 11, 2026. Caller ID can be faked, so some of these numbers belong to people whose number was spoofed.

Had a suspicious call?

What the FTC and the FCC tell you to do.

  • Do not call back a number you do not recognize. If the caller said they were your bank, a company or a government agency, hang up and call them on a number you find yourself: on your statement, your card or the official website.

  • If a recording tells you to press a key to stop the calls, just hang up. Scammers use that trick to find people who answer.

  • Never pay because a caller insists on gift cards, a wire transfer, cryptocurrency or a payment app. The FTC says anyone who insists on those is a scammer.

  • Report it. Lost nothing: DoNotCall.gov. Lost money, or know who called: ReportFraud.ftc.gov. You can also file with the FCC at fcc.gov/complaints. Give the number on your caller ID even if you think it was faked.

  • Block the number on your phone and turn on your carrier’s free spam blocking. AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile all offer a free tier.
