Numbers most reported to the FCC by Missouri consumers
Ranked by how many Missouri FCC complaints name them, limited to the last five years. A number appearing here means people in Missouri reported receiving calls that displayed it — not that its owner placed them.
Do Not Call protection in Missouri
Missouri is one of the states that maintains its own Do Not Call registry alongside the federal National Do Not Call Registry, so telemarketers calling Missouri numbers are expected to check both lists. Registering on the federal list at donotcall.gov is free and never expires; the state list is administered separately and may have its own registration process and renewal period.
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 Missouri, the Missouri Attorney General also takes consumer complaints about scam calls.
