Florida’s Most Common Robocalls
With 5.2 billion robocalls made last month, more than half were scams or telemarketing. Almost 390 million were received in Florida. What were the most common numbers that were received on our phones?
On average, each person in Florida received 20.4 robocalls last month. That number will rise as we enter tax season and the scams get ramped up.
The top numbers that we saw last month, according to YouMail, include some legitimate companies like debt collectors, mortgage and cable companies. Scammers were also in the mix.
These are Florida’s top callers:
