The 'Yes Scam' or 'Can you hear me?' scam says they record you saying yes and hang up afterwards. Its a rumor!
I think it is very irresponsible for anyone to help spread this "yes" scam Rumor, without first investigating its possibilities.
Ask yourself this:
What scam scenario would ONLY work with a recording of you saying yes and couldn't work without it?How would a caller know who answered, it could be your wife/husband/mom/dad or anyone who answered your phone and said 'yes' that gets recorded.What legitimate phone company would allow anyone to charge a client's phone with only a recording of someone saying yes?
The Yes Scam is merely a rumor and unproven to have any validity that it could work. There may be scams where you agreed to something unwittingly and got recorded, but they need much more than a simple recording of a voice saying yes.
Saying 'yes' alone has no impact on pulling a scam, since a scammer could just as easily say 'yes' themselves . They wouldn't know its you or some family member who answered your phone, so recording a 'yes' is pretty redundant.
Silent message left. Also, Caller Name was Unavailable/Out of area, yet a local phone number. Blocked and reported to FCC and FTC as an abandoned call.
I just call a call from this number. I said hello, a brief pause, and then live person says can you hear me? I hung up. I've heard of you say yes, then they charge you for something you didn't buy.
