Here's Who Keeps Sending Robocalls To Suffolk County

SUFFOLK 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.

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.

Suffolk residents received an estimated 10.8 million robocalls last month alone, the company estimated.

Here's how that breaks down in the Suffolk area.

• Area code: 631
  • Total robocalls in April: 10.8 million
  • Population affected: 1.5 million
  • Average calls per person: 7.3

Here are the top five robocallers to the 631 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.
