When you get a call from an unknown number, do you answer it . . . or ignore it and say, "If it's actually something important they'll leave a voicemail"?
Pretty much ALL of us do that these days. A new survey found 94% of people won't answer calls from any unknown numbers. That's up from 72% one year ago.
One of the reasons for the jump is the number of scam calls has skyrocketed during the pandemic.
There were more than 50 BILLION scam calls to Americans last year . . . and last month, there was an average of 129.5 million every day, or 1,500 each second.
