30% between 10am and 1pm; 91% on weekdays, most on Wednesdays.

Week by week

2,398 complaints from Connecticut in the last four weeks; leaving out the concentrated source below, complaints are down 3% on the four weeks before.

Data note: 277 of Connecticut's last-four-week complaints (12%) came from one place, Bridgeport, CT (callers' own phones in area code 203), up from 14 in the comparison period. That pattern usually means one or a few very active filers, so trend figures here leave it out.

Neighbor spoofing in Connecticut

31% of the calls Connecticut residents reported showed the resident's own area code, and 41% showed a Connecticut area code of any kind. 15% came from toll-free numbers. Most calls here don't pretend to be local, so a familiar area code is less of a warning sign than in states where spoofing dominates. How neighbor spoofing works.

Do Not Call protection in Connecticut

Connecticut formally adopted the FTC's National Do Not Call Registry as its own state list rather than running a separate one, so a single free registration at donotcall.gov covers you. State authorities can still enforce against telemarketers who ignore it, in addition to any federal penalty.

Whatever your state does, the federal National Do Not Call Registry applies, and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act gives you a private right of action against certain unlawful calls. Report unwanted calls at the FCC complaint centre and fraud at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. In Connecticut, the Connecticut Attorney General also takes consumer complaints about scam calls.

Where do the calls reported in Connecticut come from?

The FCC records the state the person filing the complaint was in, not where the caller was. Because caller ID is easily spoofed, a call reported in Connecticut may have been placed from anywhere in the world and may have displayed a Connecticut number that belongs to an uninvolved person. Area code alone tells you nothing reliable about a caller's location.
