In mid-2020, RoboKiller anticipated spam calls and text messages could return to normal levels or beyond as COVID-19 related hindrances to spammers' phone scam operations, especially quarantine orders, were lifted. The rise in spam calls and texts is not unexpected. With more Americans now wary of answering phone calls from unknown numbers, recent trends show that scammers are relying more heavily on the use of text messages as their weapon of choice to steal from more Americans over the phone. March's record-breaking totals mark a key inflection point in the fight against phone scams. Spam calls were no different, hitting a record 6.3 billion in March 2021 and surpassing October 2020's previous high of 6.1 billion. NEW YORK, Ap/PRNewswire/ - RoboKiller, the app that helps eliminate spam calls and text messages, reveals Americans received a staggering 7.4 billion spam text messages in March - a 37% increase from February 2021.
