A new Truecaller report has shed some light on the spam and scam patterns in various regions across the globe. Here is what the report tells us about the pesky calls that we tend to receive every other day.
A new report by Truecaller reveals a piece of interesting information about spam calls in India. The caller-identification service shares that over 202 million spam calls were made by just one spammer in India this year. This means that one particular phone number was able to disturb over 6 lakh 64 thousand people every day and 27 thousand people every hour.
The findings have been shared in Truecaller's annual Global Spam Report for this year. The report includes data points of spammers from January to October 2021. In the report, Truecaller mentions that it actively maintains a list of top spammers in different regions. This allows the service to automatically block the numbers registered as spammers in an area. With a deep dive into this list, Truecaller found out that this one spammer in India is vastly ahead of all its competitors.
