The problem of robocalls and spam calls are at an all-time high, meaning that you need to install CallApp and protect yourself against this danger has never been so vital.
Earlier this year, ZDNet came out with a frightening article which assessed the statistics of robocalls in 2018. Taking their information from the Caller ID App Hiya, they reported that “Consumers in the US received a whopping 26.3 billion robocalls in 2018, which was 46 percent more than that the total number of robocalls in 2017.”
Stop and think about that for a second– 26.3 BILLION robocalls, and that is only looking at one country! They continue to assess the dire situation
YouMail, another robocall-blocking service, stated that the robocall numbers in 2018 were even higher. The company reported an estimated 47.8 billion robocalls in the US in 2018, which shows an increase of 56.8 percent compared to 2017.
Assessing these statistics in more detail, the data revealed that 37 percent of these calls were scams that included student loans, health insurance, tax scams, business scams, and warranty scams while the other 60 percent were legitimate and included telemarketing calls, reminders, and alerts.
Why is this upward trend increasing at such a drastic pace?
According to YouMail employee Alex Quilci, “If you don’t answer the phone the robocallers have to work harder, so they generate more calls. It’s a death spiral.”
