(Deepshikha Gautam, Intern Journalist) New Delhi: Truecaller has introduced its latest ‘Insight Reports’. In this report, the company has released a list. In this list, the company has told about the top 20 countries which are most affected by spam calls. You might not be surprised to know that the name of India is also included in this list. According to this report by Trucaller, users in Brazil are the most troubled by spam calls. India has now reached number 9 in the list of top 20 countries. The biggest reason for India’s position dropping is that in the recent past, there has been a 34% decrease in spam calls received by Indian customers worldwide.
Domestic numbers are used for 98.5 percent of spam calls in India. India had a nationwide lockdown in the past some time due to which telemarketers could not go to work. With this it was not possible to make spam calls on a large scale. Because of this, such a huge decline in the rate of spam calls has been observed.
