There’s nothing worse than getting a call from an unknown number and determining if it is worth your time to answer.
Now, in the wake of Robocalls, people on average are receiving about 13 of these phone calls a month! A report done by CBS News stated Americans lost $9 billion to scams just last year.
In order to try to stop the Robocalls, or, spoofing, which shows a local number when it calls, the FCC is trying to hammer home a multimillion-dollar fine to domestic companies.
As for the future, predictions show by 2019 half of those incoming calls won’t be coming from a human.
