Nearly half of cellphone calls will be scams by 2019, report says

Nearly half of all cellphone calls next year will come from scammers, according to First Orion, a company that provides phone carriers and their customers caller ID and call blocking technology.

The Arkansas-based firm projects an explosion of incoming spam calls, marking a leap from 3.7 percent of total calls in 2017 to more than 29 percent this year, to a projected 45 percent by early 2019.

Yes, lejardin, unfortunately so..the ostensible blessing of the cell phone also has the opposite potential of a curse :-(

It's underway here. I'm getting a lot of robo calls even though I've been on the No Call List for years.

No Call List reminds me of the "unsubscribe" or "blocking" of emails. You do that and it seems you get triple the emails after the fact.

My cell provider has the option to block known scammer calls. Very few get through right now.
If I had my way I would have the cell phone company allow only contact numbers that I give them.
