I need a citation for this "most", because if I recall correctly, "most" people are getting the illegal kind of robo calls, not the legal kind.
Good call.
Looks like 55% are legitimate and the rest were scams.

Totally lucky break on my side, I didn't know the scammers still held such a large percentage.
