robocalls

FCC estimates more than 47 billion robocalls were made to phones in the U.S. in 2018

"No one deserves to be ripped off. Whether you have a landline, a cellphone -- or even me, I’m not too advanced. I have a flip phone. You still get them."

“An estimated 40% of robocalls are scam calls, amounting to some $350 million dollars in financial losses each year to consumers."

More than 30 Chinese immigrants in New York say they have been the victims of a Chinese robocall scam. A local councilor suspects the number is much higher. The NYPD estimates $3 million has been stolen since December.
