""We'd hoped for an eighth straight month of declining robocall volume, but instead saw a meaningful rise this month,""
""Progress feels like it's two steps forward and one step back. The result is that we still have 3.8 billion robocalls hitting consumers, with the majority continuing to be scams or telemarketing calls. It's more critical than ever that consumers protect themselves from scam calls.""
Robocall volume for U.S. consumers rose to 3.8 billion in November, up from 3.3 billion in October, marking the first increase in seven months. The month-to-month rise was 3.3%, while November remained 18% lower than November 2024. November averaged 128.7 million robocalls per day and 1,490 per second, increases of 6.7% from October's daily average. More than half (56%) of calls were unwanted, up 4.5% from October. Pre-approved loan and debt-relief offers generated hundreds of millions of calls monthly. Many campaigns use thousands of different numbers, including toll-free numbers, limiting the effectiveness of simple blocking. 2025 call volume to date is essentially unchanged year-over-year.
