The rate of scam calls to U.S. mobile users is increasing so rapidly that by next year, nearly half of all calls will be fraudulent, according to a new report.
First Orion, which offers technology to identify and block spam calls and works with carriers including T-Mobile US, released its first annual report on scam call trends and projections. The report is based on First Orion’s analysis of more than 50 billion calls made to U.S. mobile subscribers over the past 18 months.
