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

What kind of calls are reported most in West Virginia?
