Spam Calls to Hit Nearly 50% of All Calls by 2019 Robocalls are getting<br />much worse. A report by the call protection company, First Orion, claims you should expect more fake calls to come. The number of spam phone calls are expected to reach 45% of all dials by early 2019. By the end of next year, half of all calls are predicted to be spam. Many fake calls have adapted a tactic known as “neighborhood spoofing.” This encourages people to pick up calls by having a fake caller ID similar to their own number. Scammers have shifted almost exclusively to calling mobile customers. The FTC has received 63,000 complaints regarding illegal robocalls each month<br />in 2009. That number surged to 375,000 complaints <br />in 2017. The FCC, FTC and other government agencies are trying to hammer out solutions with companies in the<br />private sector.
