580 Area Code Scam Report
Area Code 580
Updated Jun 28, 2026 · FTC complaint data
The 580 area code covers Area Code 580 and ranks #266 out of all U.S. area codes for scam call complaints. The FTC has logged 22,160 complaints from 11,786 unique phone numbers in the 580 prefix. The FCC independently recorded another 577 complaints, meaning people are reporting these numbers to multiple federal agencies.
But here is what makes 580 distinctive: 56.4% of victims are Oklahoma residents, and 38% of victims have a 580 number themselves. This is a textbook neighbor spoofing pattern. Scammers fake a 580 caller ID because people in the Oklahoma area are far more likely to answer a call that looks like it is coming from their own neighborhood. The number on your screen is fabricated.

Why Scammers Spoof 580 Numbers
Caller ID spoofing is trivially easy with modern VoIP technology. Scammers operating from anywhere in the world can make your phone display any number they choose. They pick 580 because it is a large, recognizable Oklahoma area code. When your phone rings and shows a 580 number, your instinct is that it might be a local business, a doctor's office, or someone you know. That instinct is exactly what scammers exploit.
The data confirms this. Of all FTC complaints about 580 numbers:
- 56.4% of victims are in Oklahoma, confirming local targeting
- 38% of victims have a 580 number themselves, meaning scammers match the victim's own area code
- The remaining 44% of complaints come from all 50 states, showing these numbers also appear in broader campaigns
What 580 Scam Calls Are About
Not all 580 scam calls run the same playbook. The FTC categorizes complaints by subject, and the automation rate (robocall percentage) reveals which scams are run by machines versus live callers.
Warranties & protection plans scams have the highest automation rate at 87.7%, meaning 9 out of 10 calls are robots. Computer & technical support follows at 81.8%. If your phone rings from a 580 number and you hear a recorded message about debt, tech support, or a government agency, it is almost certainly spoofed.

What to Do If You Get a Call from a 580 Number
If you did not answer
Do not call back. Scammers spoof real people's numbers, so calling back may reach an innocent person. Instead, check the number on ScamVerify™ to see if it has been reported. If there is no voicemail, it was almost certainly a robocall.
If you answered
Hang up immediately if you hear a recorded message. If a live person asks for personal information, payment, or claims to be from the IRS, Social Security, or your bank, do not engage. Legitimate agencies do not cold-call demanding immediate payment. Check the number below, then report it to the FTC at donotcall.gov.
Remember: the number is not real
The 580 number that appeared on your screen was almost certainly spoofed. The actual caller could be anywhere. This is why blocking individual numbers has limited value. Scammers generate thousands of spoofed numbers and discard them after a few calls.

The Oklahoma Scam Call Cluster
580 does not exist in isolation. The entire Oklahoma metro shares five area codes, and scammers rotate through all of them. Combined, these codes account for 22,160 FTC complaints, making DFW one of the most spoofed metro areas in the country.
Fort Worth's 817 has the highest in-state targeting rate at 84%, while 469 sits at 56.4%. This suggests 817 is used almost exclusively for neighbor spoofing, while 469 sees slightly more use in broader nationwide campaigns.
