Sick of spam calls? See which states file the most complaints

(NEXSTAR) – It’s become an obnoxious reality with no apparent end in sight – spam calls that interrupt our day with calls ranging from unwanted to services to dangerous scams.

In 2025, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) received more than 2.6 million complaints about calls in the following categories: reducing debt (446,243); imposters (246,228); medical & prescriptions (208,228); energy solar & utilities (35,378); and home improvement & cleaning (28,571).

Some states saw a far higher number of complaints (per 100,000 people) than others, but none had more per capita than Arizona.

Rounding out the Top 10 were Florida, Tennessee, Illinois, Nevada, Colorado, Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey and Oklahoma, respectively.

What are the most common calls?

Other common complaints included calls about debt reduction (1,092,275); medical and prescription (830,850); warranties and protection plans (730,621); energy, solar and utilities (236,629); computer and tech equipment (126,221); home improvement and cleaning (104,757); and vacations and timeshares (96,429).

“Home improvement and cleaning” calls were mostly made by live callers, according to the FTC, with the majority of all other categories consisting of robocalls.

As the name implies, robocalls are automated calls to deliver recorded messages to a large number of phones.........
