San Jose, CA, March 03, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Dingtone, Inc, a leading VoIP provider and cloud-based virtual mobile communication operator, today announced survey results showing that 70 percent of people have received unwanted spam calls, with 60 percent of them saying they’ve received more during the pandemic.
Of the 70 percent of people who received unwanted spam calls, 42 percent of the calls were for commodity promotion, while 26 percent were financial fraud calls. In addition, survey data reveals that 30 percent of these unwanted calls were robocalls.
