Have you noticed an uptick in robocalls recently? You’re not crazy!

New data from the robocall-prevention service YouMail says that about 159.1 million robocalls were placed each day last month. That’s the highest monthly robocall volume since February 2020, right before the pandemic hit. We got a tiny bit of relief from robocalls when international call centers were shut down last year, but it looks like they’re getting back into the swing of things.

The leading illegal types of robocalls involved car warranties and health-related scams.
