Complaints about robocalls jumped sharply in 2017
If you feel like those robocalls are blowing up your phone more than ever before, that’s because they might be. Complaints about robocalls jumped sharply last year.
The Federal Trade Commission says it received 4.5 million robocall complaints in 2017. That's more than 375,000 complaints per month.
In 2016, there were 3.4 million robocall complaints. Experts say robocalls are increasing because of cheap access to internet calling services and auto-dialing.
