Despite efforts by regulators and tech platforms, June 2025 was another harsh reminder that robocalls are far from under control. Americans received a staggering 4.5 billion robocalls, marking a 7.6% decrease from May, yet the intensity and targeting of these calls continue to evolve—with telemarketing and scam calls rising in proportion and sophistication.
Here’s a full breakdown of the data, trends, and what you can do to protect yourself.
June 2025 Robocall Statistics
- Total Calls: 4.5 billion
- Average Calls per Person: 13.6
- Calls Per Day: 148.8 million
- Calls Per Hour: 6.2 million
- Calls Per Second: 1,700
- Change from May 2025: -7.6%
While fewer in volume than the month prior, the per-person burden remains high. Most people in the U.S. received over a dozen robocalls last month, and many of them came from spoofed or familiar-looking numbers designed to trick recipients into answering.
Top Spam Categories: Telemarketing Leads the Pack
1. Telemarketing – 36%
Robocalls selling insurance, credit cards, home warranties, and solar panel services made up the largest slice. Many of these were illegal calls made without consent.
2. Alerts and Reminders – 24%
These include legitimate calls from doctors’ offices, schools, and delivery companies. However, scammers increasingly mimic these to trick recipients into disclosing personal information.
3. Scams – 22%
This category includes everything from IRS impersonation to fake tech support and Social Security fraud. Several new scams in June included robocalls pretending to be from popular delivery services claiming failed deliveries that needed payment.
4. Payment Reminders – 15%
Calls from banks, utilities, and debt collectors continued to account for a significant portion of robocalls, though not all were legitimate.
5. Unclassified – 2%
These are calls that did not fit a known pattern or had incomplete metadata.
Robocalls by Volume: The State of the Spam Nation
While robocalls are a nationwide issue, some cities and states are hit harder than others. According to the June 2025 data, the five most affected cities were:
- Atlanta, GA – 149.7 million calls
- Dallas, TX – 147.2 million calls
- Chicago, IL – 125.7 million calls
- Houston, TX – 121.1 million calls
- New York, NY – 111.5 million calls
Even though many of these cities saw MoM decreases, the volumes remain alarmingly high—indicating deeply rooted targeting patterns by scammers.
New Trends: Hyper-Targeted Spoofing and AI-Driven Scam Scripts
Robocalls in June 2025 showed greater personalization. Spoofed calls now often mimic local numbers in the recipient’s contact list, and the use of AI voice generation has enabled more realistic scam scripts. These include:
- AI-generated voices mimicking family members (used in “emergency” scams)
- Scripts imitating government agents or bank representatives
- Fake order confirmations that prompt recipients to “press 1” to dispute a charge
