"During October, U.S. consumers received just under 3.8 billion robocalls, a 7.7% decrease from September, and nearly a 24% drop from October of 2024. The report said thre were an average of 120.6 million robocalls/day and 1,396 robocalls/second, down 10.7% from September's average of 135.1 million robocalls/day and 1,564 robocalls/second. The monthly decline continues a trend that started in April, when the calls peaked."
"Despite the declines since April, the report said the 2025 10-month total of robocalls was still nearly 2% higher than in the same period last year. The primary unwanted calls - scam and telemarketing - fell from roughly 2.5 billion to roughly 2.1 billion calls, a huge decrease of 400 million calls, the lowest figure in a year. Those calls now account for 56% of all robocall volume, down from the 60% they had consistently accounted for over the past six months."
