/>i730MM less robocalls year over year.
That’s just for the month of June!
And there is no question the incredible work of Responsible Enterprises Against Consumer Harassment (R.E.A.C.H.) is delivering the massive downward shift in unwanted calls.
Per YouMail’s robocall index, Robocalls in June, 2023 totaled 4,858,343,400, this year they were down to 4,126,602,800 a drop of over 730MM calls–and a massive 15% dip.
Now you all remember that I promised I would stop 1BB unwanted calls a month when I started R.E.A.C.H.
You’re welcome America.
I told you it would take time–but it has worked. And it was done WITHOUT any government interference (the FCC’s new one to one rule isn’t in effect yet, so THAT couldn’t have done it.) Instead it was R.E.A.C.H.’s focus on cleaning up the lead generation industry–preventing fraud, dark patterns and setting standards for disclosures–that has lead the way and resulted in a massive reduction in unwanted calls.
And the results are real and undeniable.
And it wasn’t just in June folks.
Robocalls are down every month of 2024 so far.
EVERY SINGLE MONTH.
