In 2022, RK estimates that #spoofed #spamcalls represented ~40% of US illegal scam call traffic (largely originating overseas) - down 1-2% from 2021.
Recent FCC crackdowns on non-US providers will bring more relief in 2023 to Americans who are tired of spoofing! 🙏🏻 📉
Review these #FCCtips for combating robocalls:
✅ Spoofing can make a scam call appear to be local
✅ Don’t answer calls from unknown numbers
✅ Don’t provide any personal info to callers
✅ See what call blocking tools are available

Great to see justice served on behalf of US consumers who have been plagued (& for many financially impacted) by the infamous car warranty robocall scam.
@robokiller estimates that Americans may have lost up to $5 billion to this scam up until this point in 2022.
The Commission just unanimously voted to propose a nearly $300 million fine, the largest fine ever, against an auto warrant scam robocaller. #FCCLive #OpenMtgFCC #ProtectingConsumers #StopRobocalls

Amazing momentum from the FCC to protect Americans from dangerous (and costly) #phonescams 👏👏👏
@robokiller estimates similar efforts against the infamous car warranty robocall in July’22 reduced this scam by BILLIONS per month
Can’t wait to see the impact here
Our Robocall Response Team just announced that our Enforcement Bureau has ordered telecommunications companies to stop carrying robocalls related to known student loan scams. #FCCGov #StopRobocalls #ProtectingConsumers fcc.gov/document/fcc-orders-…

This year, American consumers are more holiday-phone-spammed than ever.
Holiday-related #robocalls & #robotexts are expected to increase by 6% y/y - reaching est record highs of 5.5 B messages.
Beware of #phonescams that pose as brands you may be buying from - Amazon, UPS/Fedex

Big day in the fight against illegal robocalls.
Great to see the @FCC taking continued action and leading the way to cut off a carrier putting Americans at risk to #robocalls and #phonescams
For the first time, a voice service provider is being cut off from other networks for failing to meet the FCC’s requirements for protecting consumers against scam #robocalls and malicious caller ID #spoofing. fcc.gov/document/fcc-cuts-pr…

The sadly unsurprising latest trend from phone scammers - student loan robocall & text scams.
@robokiller estimates Americans have already received 700M of these scams & expects losses to reach $5B by end of year. Ugh.
Great article by Emma Whitford!

🚨In Oct 2022, @robokiller estimates Americans will receive more than 3.5M robotexts and 30M robocalls relating to student loan scams.
We expect this to increase by ⬆️10% in November as national interest in student loan relief increases.

Scammers are smart & follow headlines to make their scams more believable - often resulting in hundreds of millions in consumer financial losses.
❌Beware of any unfamiliar calls or texts that ask for financial or personal information in exchange for student loan forgiveness.
