The robocalls keep coming. And they keep coming.
- U.S. consumers received close to 4.5 billion robocalls in July.
- While that is certainly a lot, it showed a 7.6% decrease from June's numbers.
- On average, there were 144.9 million robocalls made each day in July.
- Last year, to stop this then-ongoing telemarketing campaign in its tracks, the FCC directed all U.S.-based voice service providers to cease carrying traffic associated with certain members of the enterprise. As a result, these illegal auto warranty robocalls dropped by 99%.
