Week by week

2,399 complaints from Kansas in the last four weeks; leaving out the concentrated source below, complaints are up 20% on the four weeks before.

Data note: 244 of Kansas's last-four-week complaints (10%) came from one place, Salina, KS (callers' own phones in area code 785), about 7× the state's per-resident rate. That pattern usually means one or a few very active filers, so trend figures here leave it out.

Neighbor spoofing in Kansas

54% of the calls Kansas residents reported showed the resident's own area code, and 59% showed a Kansas area code of any kind. 9% came from toll-free numbers. Robocallers display a local-looking number because people are more likely to answer one; the number on screen usually has nothing to do with who is calling. How neighbor spoofing works.

Numbers most reported to the FCC by Kansas consumers

Ranked by how many Kansas FCC complaints name them, limited to the last five years. A number appearing here means people in Kansas reported receiving calls that displayed it — not that its owner placed them.

Do Not Call protection in Kansas

Kansas 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 Kansas, the Kansas Attorney General also takes consumer complaints about scam calls.

Where do the calls reported in Kansas 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 Kansas may have been placed from anywhere in the world and may have displayed a Kansas number that belongs to an uninvolved person. Area code alone tells you nothing reliable about a caller's location.
