On July 11, 2024, a warning was issued regarding the prevalence of scam calls. While it is possible that an unknown number on your phone could be legitimate, there is also a significant chance that it may be a scammer. Phone scammers have successfully defrauded people out of substantial amounts of money.

According to a 2022 report by the National Consumer Law Center and the Electronic Privacy Information Center, over 33 million attempts are made daily to defraud Americans via scam robocalls. This equates to more than a billion monthly attempts by scammers in the United States alone.
