So according to a new survey in partnership with the Harris poll and true caller, Americans

have lost a record of $29.8 billion to phone scams over the past 12 months.

Nearly threefold the estimated loss in 2019.

Wow! According to this, nearly one in four Americans reported losing money to a phone

scam over the past year. 2,000 people in the US 18 and older. According to this, the

results show the degree to which COVID-19 pandemic and related work from home policies have

made Americans more vulnerable to virtual grifters.

Um, no, it's made it possible for maybe America the dumbing down of Americans.

Oh, wow! The survey found that younger Americans were actually more likely to lose money

in the phone scam with men between the ages of 35 and 44 proving most likely across generations

almost 60% of men reported being scam compared with 38% of women.

The scams, according to true caller, are increasingly happening on mobile phones instead

of landlines or really, you think so? I mean, how many people really have landlines now?

For real? No, you don't. No, you don't. You may have what your cable company calls a landline,

but it's still an internet line. So, I mean, I guess technically it's still a landline,

but not really. And I will say that I am one of the Americans that did not get scammed

from a phone deal. So, I mean, that's something to be happy about, right? Right? Okay, then.

Welcome! Welcome to chewing the fat.
