Despite efforts to stop them, Americans are getting more robocalls than ever.
A staggering 5 billion robocalls were received in March, according to data from YouMail.
That’s a 15% increase over the previous month, despite ‘significant’ efforts to block them by digital carriers.
The most common robocall was a campaign for low-cost health insurance. Banking scams are a huge problem too.
It’s only April and Americans have already lost $7 Billion in bank scams and losses could approach $28 billion by the end of the year.
Two important tips to remember: 1. Never provide personal information like banking details or other sensitive information.
2. Don’t answer phone calls or texts from unknown numbers, especially those that call or text at odd hours.
How many robocalls do you get on a typical day? Is there any way to stop them?
