Robocalls At An All Time in Colorado: How to Make the Calls Stop

Millions of Coloradans receive robocalls every single day. The robocalls are getting so bad that many of us do not answer our phones at all.

More often than not, when I feel my phone vibrating, my automatic response is to silence it. I have ignored countless calls from family members, friends, and co-workers because I assumed it was another stupid spam call.

Robocalls Getting Worse in Colorado

We all thought there would be a solution for robocalls by now. Robocalls have been an issue across the nation since 1991. The Federal Communications Commission officially took its first steps against robocalls that year. Flash forward to 2023, and you and I can both roll our eyes and be annoyed that there has not really been a true solution to the problem.

Americans received over 4.6 billion robocalls last month, which happens to be an 8% increase from the month before.

Robocalls are out of control. Here is what you can do to fight it.

Be Aware of Who is Calling

You might already do this, but if you do not recognize the phone number that is calling you, do not pick up the phone. If it is important, they will leave a voicemail or send you a text.

You can join both a national and Colorado do-not-call list.
