Here's Who Keeps Sending Robocalls To Westchester County

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY — If you think you're receiving robocalls now more than ever, you're not wrong. According to the robocall blocker YouMail, pre-recorded phone messages are at an all-time high. And as you'll see, not all robocalls are bad.

There were 3.36 billion robocalls last month in the U.S., 6.5 percent higher than the previous record and a whopping 34 percent higher than April 2017.

Westchester residents received an estimated 10.5 million robocalls last month alone, the company estimated.

Here's how that breaks down.

• Area code: 914
  • Total robocalls in April: 10.5 million
  • Population affected: 1.3 million
  • Average calls per person: 8.3

Here are the top five robocallers to the 914 area code last month:

With more than 384 million received robocalls, California earned the top spot for most robocalled state, followed by Texas with 363.3 million. New York ranked 5th in the country for robocalls at 207.8 million.

Here are the states that received the most robocalls, as well as how many they received:

1. California, 384.4 million

The company says 47 of the 50 most robocalled cities in the country saw a higher robocalling volume in April. The increase comes even as lawmakers, consumer groups, telecommunications carriers and device makers pay closer attention to illegal calls.

"Despite the best efforts of regulators, industry groups, service providers, and app developers, we are warning consumers to remain vigilant by not picking up any calls from unfamiliar numbers, using robocall blocking apps, and researching numbers before calling them back," YouMail CEO Alex Quilici said in a release.
