What the data says

Three useful findings from the current snapshot

01

Complaint activity is spread across a very large number set.

301,433 distinct numbers appear in the combined aggregate. That breadth is consistent with a calling environment shaped by rotating numbers, distributed campaigns, reassigned numbers, and caller-ID spoofing.

02

Recent complaint volume remains substantial.

The latest 30-day FTC window contains 223,740 reports. This is a volume indicator, not a count of proven violations or unique calling organizations.

03

Originating and advertiser numbers answer different questions.

FCC complaints can identify the number shown to the consumer and a separate advertiser number. Those fields can overlap, and either can be incomplete or spoofed, so CallSlayer keeps them separate.

Interpretation

A number match is a lead, not the whole answer

A complaint match can show that other consumers reported the displayed number. Carrier, caller-name, CallSlayer observation, website, message, and transcript clues can add context. Identifying the responsible company still requires evidence from the actual call or text because caller ID can be spoofed.

What this report cannot establish

The limits are part of the analysis

  • A complaint is an unverified report, not a legal or regulatory finding.
  • One caller or campaign can use multiple numbers, and one displayed number can be spoofed.
  • FTC and FCC fields use different definitions and reporting windows, so their totals should not be added as if they were identical measures.
  • This first report is a baseline. It does not claim month-over-month movement without a comparable prior snapshot.

Methodology

How CallSlayer produced this report

Counts are aggregated from public FTC and FCC complaint datasets. A complaint is an unverified report, not a finding of wrongdoing.

  1. Normalize published phone-number fields into a consistent US number key.
  2. Aggregate FTC report counts and FCC originating- and advertiser-number mentions separately.
  3. Retain source-specific reporting windows and dataset dates.
  4. Publish only aggregate statistics and number-level intelligence; no CallSlayer user identity or private evidence appears in this report.

Coverage period: October 31, 2014 through August 1, 2026.

Dataset dates: FTC July 30, 2026; FCC August 1, 2026.
