In February 2025, U.S. consumers received over 4.4 billion robocalls, marking a 6% decrease from January, attributed to February's shorter duration. Daily averages climbed, showing an increase of 4% from January, echoing an 11.9% rise from year-over-year figures. Despite a decrease in specific categories like notifications and telemarketing calls, scam robocalls surged by 4.1%. A concerning trend was highlighted in February's robocall campaigns focusing on personal loans, raising identity theft risk. The YouMail Robocall Index remains a key tool for monitoring these unwanted calls, providing consumer protection against them.
Robocall volume in February is down, but only because the month had fewer days than January. It's clear that robocall volumes are no longer trending down when we examine them on a daily basis.
In February, notifications (down by 6%), payment reminders (down by 9.3%), and telemarketing (down by 8.7%) occurred more infrequently than in January. However, there were 4.1% more scam robocalls in February.
