IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Americans received just over 4 billion robocalls in January, an increase of approximately 3.7% over December. In January, robocalls averaged129.5 million calls/day, or roughly 1,500 calls/second, down 2% from 124.8 million calls/day and 1,445 calls/second in December.
