New report highlights ‘rampant’ phone spam problem; 73.6M unwanted calls per day in Q1
A new report from Seattle startup Hiya highlights the ongoing problem of phone fraud and spam calls. The report found that during the first quarter of this year, nearly 25% of all unknown calls globally were flagged as spam or fraud — that’s 73.6 million per day.
This phone number has been phoning me for the last week. As it is unknown to me, I will not be answering. I have an answering machine they could use if they REALLY would like me to get in contact with them. Anyways upon doing a reverse search I have read countless stories on multiple websites, all which seem to have a different tale of events. From grant award scam, to IRS scam, to Microsoft scam. This appears to be a number belonging to perhaps a large operation, hiding behind different avenues to scam people of their money. An absolute disgrace. People of the world - DO NOT ANSWER TO THIS PHONE NUMBER!
